NS Basic is a family of development tools developed and commercially marketed by NSB Corporation in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Linux, BlackBerry OS, webOS, Apple Newton, Palm OS, Windows CE and Windows Mobile.
As of 2023, NS Basic's tools are used by over three million developers in over 80 countries.
Until 2019, NSB Corporation was known as NS BASIC Corporation.
All processing is done locally - no information is uploaded. This keeps the certificates and passwords secure. A MacOS computer is not needed to create iOS certificates. No software needs to be installed on the user's system.
The certificates produced will work for any build tool - not just VoltBuilder. They can be used with Apache Cordova, Ionic Capacitor, Appflow and others.
The security and privacy of the signing keys are of the utmost importance. The NS BASIC certificate generating servers keep no records of passwords, or any private keys generated. No key material is ever stored on disk. No private information is kept in logs.
VoltServer is operated as a free service for the developer community by NSB Corporation.
VoltBuilder is framework neutral: it does not use any other AppStudio products, nor does it restrict the use of other frameworks. Nothing needs to be installed locally.
VoltBuilder uses Apache Cordova and Ionic Capacitor to build executables. Projects which are compatible with those platforms can use the web service.
VoltBuilder was released in May, 2020 and has been continuously updated since then.
Many see it as a replacement for Adobe PhoneGap, which was discontinued on October 1, 2020.
Apps install themselves as PWA offline web or native applications. They can run on Apple's iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) and Android devices running 2.1 or later.
AppStudio can also be used to create Electron apps which run on Windows, MacOS and Linux. The use of Nodejs modules is supported.
The latest version of AppStudio 9.0.0.0 was released on Dec 16, 2023. It features an AI Coding Assistant based on ChatGPT, Bootstrap 5 and many other enhancements.
