-To package your source into a installable app, Tabris.js features an online [build service](https://tabrisjs.com/documentation/latest/build). There is no need to download a huge SDK or use specific hardware for development (e.g. a Mac machine to build for iOS). A [local build](https://tabrisjs.com/documentation/latest/local-build) is also available as an option if more customization is needed.

 # Building a Tabris.js App
 
-Tabris.js utilizes [Apache Cordova](http://cordova.apache.org) to build and package apps. Apps can be built without any local setup [using the free online build service](#build-service) on tabrisjs.com. To [build an app on your local machine](#local-build), you need to setup developer tools like Xcode, Visual Studio or the Android SDK. The following features are supported by the two different build types.

-[Tabrisjs.com](https://tabrisjs.com) offers a free online build service for Tabris.js apps. After signing in you can create an app in the "My Apps" section by clicking "Create App". Now you can select your GitHub repository in the list of repositories (if it’s not visible you may need to press the "synchronize" button). Users on the [Pro plan](https://tabrisjs.com/pricing/) can also use self hosted Git repositories.
-![Create an App](img/build-create-app.png)
-After you have selected your repository it’s going to be validated. The validation checks if the selected repository contains a valid Tabris.js [project layout](build.md#project-layout). If you have a valid project structure and `config.xml`, your app should become valid shortly. If it’s invalid, the site will tell you what went wrong. In this case please follow the instructions displayed.
-![Valid App](img/build-valid-app.png)
-After your app has become valid, you are ready to execute the first build. Just select the newly created app and click the "Start Android Build" button. A few minutes later you will get an Android .apk file which is ready to be installed on your device. But what about iOS, production builds and signing? All these things can be configured using the "Settings".
-
-> :point_right: The build service installs the dependencies specified in your package.json from npm (except devDependencies). As a result, you don't have to put the `node_modules` folder under version control.
