Awesome service, lovely simple and free - but if we pay can it be faster?

Really happy with the simplicity and ease that you guys are providing as far as getting my JQuery app made. Much appreciated guys. Given that it is free, we really can't complain but have you guys ever thought of a paid/subscription system that would allow us developers to push apps thru the system fast? I have noticed my app isn't getting built and it's been there for almost a day. Like I said I'm not gonna bust balls cos it's free but I think people would pay if we could bake and deploy our apps instantly?

The builds should always succeed or fail in 2 minutes max, usually closer to 30 seconds. If that's not happening, then there's an issue on our end (I think you posted another thread, so Hardeep will look into that for you).

I'm also noticing long delays before a build (https://build.phonegap.com/apps/29114). Are you guys having any issues?

I really appreciate this web-based build service and am also interested in paying for priority in the build queue.

As I mentioned above, if there's no response (an error or a failure) in a couple of minutes, then something's gone wrong on our end. In the case of your app, it looks as though we weren't able to pull down the code correctly from git.phonegap.com. This has been fixed now, and your app is being built.

We will let people give us their money as soon as we can :)

Hey Andrew...

Question for you in regards to paying to have PG Build apps, will there be only a for pay version or will you have both a pay & free version?

Do you by chance have an idea as to the cost that will be associated with such?

Thank You!

We announced preliminary pricing a couple of months back:
http://phonegap.com/2011/10/13/phoneg...

We're going to stick with these prices, perhaps with some small changes. The implementation/release of the paid plans has been delayed with Nitobi's acquisition by Adobe - there are a bunch of infrastructure changes we need to make to get the billing system where we want it. It should be rolled out in the next few months.
