Command line tools to create and package Crosswalk applications. The license for this project is Apache License Version 2.0, please refer to the LICENSE-APACHE-V2 included with the package.

Crosswalk-app-tools is in very early stages of development, and not suitable for use in a production environment. "Releases" and announcements are made available as a technology preview only. No packages are being published at this time, but git tags serve as reference points for release milestones.

The supported Crosswalk version for Crosswalk-app-tools 0.1.0 (as obtained by git checkout 0.1.0 below) is Crosswalk 8. Due to changes to Crosswalk internals, newer versions will fail to create usable projects. The master branch of Crosswalk-app-tools is being moved to support Crosswalk 9.

Linux is the only tested platform. Node.js, the Android SDK, and git must be functional.

1. Download: git clone https://github.com/crosswalk-project/crosswalk-app-tools.git
2. Optionally select a version: git checkout 0.1.0
3. Install dependencies: cd crosswalk-app-tools, then npm install, and cd ..
4. The main script is crosswalk-app-tools/bin/crosswalk-app. Set environment PATH or invoke with directory.
5. Download Crosswalk, e.g. https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/stable/8.37.189.14/crosswalk-8.37.189.14.zip to the same directory.

Your current directory should have those entries now.

crosswalk-app-tools/bin/crosswalk-app create com.example.Foo: This sets up a skeleton project in directory com.example.Foo/, imports Crosswalk from the zip, and puts a sample "hello world" web app under com.example.Foo/assets/www/.

cd com.example.Foo: move to the project root.

../crosswalk-app-tools/bin/crosswalk-app build: Build IA and ARM APKs for the web app. The packages Foo-debug.armeabi-v7a.apk and Foo-debug.x86.apk will end up under bin/.

That's all for now. More to come soon, and if all goes well, NPMs for new years.
