As a proof-of-concept of building Android apps on Amazon's EC2/AWS I
figured it would be fun to make a "upload your web content and get a
Market-ready wrapped web-application in a minute".
EC2 proved to be no challenge, just reducing the build process' heap
size made it run on Amazon's micro instance like a charm.
After making a template-project, customzing the ANT script and adding
a little more Amazon love (Java process monitoring uploads to S3,
invoking the build and sending emails), it was building projects like
a charm!
You can add your own icons, app-name, package name, version codes and
the builder does the rest.
As any quick and dirty weekend project it has several bugs and quirks,
but if you want to check it out, visit
http://sveinungkb-android.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
and upload your application.
In a minute or five you'll (if everything went right) get an email
with a link to your application, ready to be uploaded to Android
Market if you feel like it. Javascript, DOM-storage, app cache and
cookies are some of what you can use in your web application.
If you have any comments on the anything of the above I'd be happy to
hear it.
PS: I'll keep the service running as long as people use it and the
costs are reasonable.
