As a proof-of-concept of building Android apps on Amazon's EC2/AWS I figured it would be fun to make a "upload your web content and get a Market-ready wrapped web-application in a minute".
EC2 proved to be no challenge, just reducing the build process' heap size made it run on Amazon's micro instance like a charm. After making a template-project, customzing the ANT script and adding a little more Amazon love (Java process monitoring uploads to S3, invoking the build and sending emails), it was building projects like a charm! You can add your own icons, app-name, package name, version codes and the builder does the rest. As any quick and dirty weekend project it has several bugs and quirks, but if you want to check it out, visit http://sveinungkb-android.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html and upload your application. In a minute or five you'll (if everything went right) get an email with a link to your application, ready to be uploaded to Android Market if you feel like it. Javascript, DOM-storage, app cache and cookies are some of what you can use in your web application. If you have any comments on the anything of the above I'd be happy to hear it. PS: I'll keep the service running as long as people use it and the costs are reasonable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
