A downloadable tool

AppBuilder is a tool that can drastically increase your Hollywood multimedia language productivity, infact, with AppBuilder, you can compile and pack your cross-platform projects with a single click without bothering with long shell commands.

In a standard environment, if you want to target multiple platforms and you are making use of plugins, you would have to build your executables and manually you have to pack them including the right plugin for every target platform. This process is extremely boring but worst part is that it can lead to mistakes like copying the wrong plugin for the target platform or putting it in the wrong folder.

If you often build your applications for multiple platforms this utility is a must have!

This application let you choice for which target platforms you want to build, you set up your main source and what Hollywood plugins your application needs, and you are done: AppBuilder will manage for you all the boring things like copying the correct plugin version in the correct target platform folder.


But that’s not all because AppBuilder can manage for you your application resources, just tell AppBuilder which resources must be included with your application and it will copy all of them in the right folders, MacOS application boundles are also handled! Mac .app bundles will be managed by AppBuilder with no efforts from the user.

AppBuilder can also manage external data: with external data I mean data that must be included with your distribution but that is not essential to run your application, and should be placed outside the main application folder.

Think about a “readme” file, or documentation files : setting these files as external, AppBuilder will copy them inside the build folder but outside the application folder, this is especially useful for MacOS applications because external files will be placed outside the application boundle and will be easily accessible by the final users.


One more thing that AppBuilder can do is to create for you a zipped archive ready to be distributed, it uses 7zip so you must have it on your system to use this feature or, at least, you should have a similar program that uses the same command line arguments of 7zip.
