Studio builds your iOS and Android app binaries in the cloud. You don’t need a local build environment — everything runs remotely.

​
Before your first build

  1. iOS and Android credentials must be uploaded
  2. Your WordPress site must be connected

​
Triggering a build

  1. In Studio, go to Build.
  2. Click New Build.
  3. Select platform: iOS, Android, or Both.
  4. Click Start Build.
The build typically takes 10–20 minutes depending on queue time and platform.

​
Build status

Studio shows live build status in the Build tab: Click any build row to see the full build log.

​
Canceling a build

To stop a build that’s queued or running, open its ⋯ menu in Builds & Releases and choose Cancel build. On-Air Releases and store submissions can be canceled only while they’re still waiting to start.
  • Credits come back for every platform that hadn’t finished. A platform that already finished keeps its cost, because you got that build.
  • The build stays in your history marked Canceled. Use the Canceled filter to find canceled builds.
  • Delete build in the same menu removes a build from the history completely.
AI agents can also cancel builds they started from WordPress, if you allow it. See Builds and releases by chat.

​
Development builds

In addition to production builds, Studio can create development builds — binaries that include a dev client for live preview sessions.
  • One active development build is allowed per platform per app
  • Development builds use a special bundle identifier suffix to avoid conflicting with production
  • Once a dev build is installed, Studio can start a preview session (a Metro server) so you can test configuration changes live on device
See Development Previews for the full workflow.

​
Build credits

Builds consume credits from your Studio account. Credit balance is shown in the Build & Releases page.

​
After the build

When a production build finishes you have two options:
  • Publish from Studio — submit directly to the App Store or Google Play without leaving Studio (see Store Submission)
  • Download and upload manually — download the .ipa (iOS) or .aab (Android) from Studio and upload it yourself in App Store Connect or the Google Play Console
