Buildozer

This tool is currently in alpha.

Buildozer is a tool for creating application packages easily.

The goal is to have one "buildozer.spec" file in your app directory: it describe your application requirements, titles, etc. Buildozer will use that spec for create package for Android, iOS, Windows, OSX and Linux.

Usage example

1. Install buildozer:

   # latest dev
   git clone git://github.com/kivy/buildozer
   cd buildozer
   sudo python2.7 setup.py install
   
   # via pip (latest stable)
   sudo pip install buildozer
   
   # via easy_install
   sudo easy_install buildozer
   

2. Go into your application directory and do:

   buildozer init
   # edit the buildozer.spec, then
   buildozer android debug deploy run
   

Example of commands:

# buildozer commands
buildozer clean

# buildozer target command
buildozer android update
buildozer android deploy
buildozer android debug
buildozer android release

# or all in one (compile in debug, deploy on device)
buildozer android debug deploy

# set the default command if nothing set
buildozer setdefault android debug deploy run
