Hi,
Is there a way to build an iOS and Android app with Cloud Build without providing any key and provisionning profile?
I'm just trying to do some tests for now, so I don't have a developer accounts with Apple nor Android...
Thanks!

There is an apk file generated for the android version without providing a key. But when I open the apk, I only see the default Phonegap app, not my project... Why?

You must have done something wrong, then.
What do you mean by "opening the apk"? Would that be " install and launch on test device" or something else?

Thanks for the help! Here is what I am doing:
- I tested my game on the phonegap mobile app -> it works fine.
- So I zipped the app and uploaded it on Cloud Build.
- I downloaded the apk for android (the iOS build fails because no keys)
- I opened the apk o my mac with https://developer.chrome.com/apps/get...
- And I see the default PhoneGap app "Phonegap: your device is ready"
How can I debug this... ?

You made a couple of errors:
1. You believe that whatever the developer app generates is good enough for Phonegap Build. You are apparently not aware that these applications/services are not compatible.
2. You believe that looking into the apk file and seeing a config means that this is the config that is being used for execution of your app.
This would probably be a great time to read the PGB Docs (see Docs link in menu bar of this forum), then start from scratch. Also, you may want to browse a couple of days worth of threads in this forum, because your situation is discussed here on an almost daily basis.

Thanks, I managed to make it work (my directory was wrong).
One last question: if the .apk is working, does it mean that the iOS app should also work fine once I add the keys?
It's for a small game built in HTML5.

No. You should test on multiple versions of both OS and with multiple screen dimensions.
Android and iOS have
- different icons and splashes
- different whitelisting
- different ways of "app exit"
- sometimes quite different implementation of plugins
- specific preferences and config-file elements for each
Also, there are several known bugs with each of the PGB versions for one or both OS.

@duh!
It was good that Petra informed you that Phongap Desktop App and does not work with Phonegap Build __without modifications__.
This FAQ should also help. Read the bold sentences first.
