It‘s a shame that Phonegap Build is closed at the top of the corona crisis and at the top of the mobile age!
Being a PhoneGap refugees we spent a lot of time looking at alternatives. On the development side, we made the jump to Ionic Capacitor which is logical upgrade from Cordova but young enough that build flows are few and far between.
The logical choice here would have been AppFlow which looks really nice. The deal-killer for use was pricing – it was simply cost-prohibitive for our small operation. After much searching, we found a great solution in CodeMagic (formerly Nevercode) – it’s a really nice CI/CD flow with a modest learning curve. It had a magic combination of true Ionic Capacitor support, ease-of-use and a free pricing tier that is full-featured. If you’re in a crunch the upgraded plans are pay-as-you-go which is also a plus.
Amazing it has not got as much attention as it deserves…
Like everyone else, phonegap left a huge hole when it shut down. We looked at every alternative out there and eventually settled on volt.build for two reasons, 1) the company behind it has been around a long time and 2) it’s the closest we could find to building locally. It’s 100% cordova and they keep up with the latest.
volt build not support any plugins, like sqlite, file transfer, etc

Sorry – I just saw this comment. It’s not true at all. Here’s a list of over 1000 plugins which have been checked out for use.
