✅ Quick Summary

Push44's Rocket.new panel includes an APK Build section that lets you trigger builds, see real-time build progress, handle build resets when needed, and download the resulting APK file directly.

The Problem

Building an APK in Rocket.new requires navigating their build system, waiting for the build to complete, and downloading the result. If the build fails with a max-attempt error, you need to reset the build state before you can try again — and Rocket.new doesn't always make this obvious.

How Push44 Solves It

Push44's Rocket.new panel includes an APK Build section that lets you trigger builds, see real-time build progress, handle build resets when needed, and download the resulting APK file directly.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Connect your Rocket.new project

Authenticate with Rocket.new in Push44 and select an Android project.

2

Trigger the APK build

In Push44's APK section, click 'Build APK'. Push44 calls the Rocket.new build API and monitors the build queue.

3

Handle max-attempt errors if they occur

If you see a 'max failed attempts' error, use Push44's 'Reset Build' button to clear the failed state. Then trigger a new build. This calls the reset-apk-build endpoint before make-apk-build.

💡 Pro Tip
The reset step is required — Rocket.new won't start a new build until the previous failure is cleared.
4

Download your APK

Once the build completes (typically 3–10 minutes), Push44 shows a download button. Click it to save the APK to your device.

Pro Tips

  • APK builds take time — Push44 polls the build status every 30 seconds.
  • Keep the Push44 tab open while the build runs to get an automatic notification when it completes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️ Watch Out For
  • Trying to start a new APK build without resetting a failed one — this will silently fail.
  • Closing the Push44 tab during a build — the build continues on Rocket.new's servers, but Push44 won't notify you when it finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an APK build take in Rocket.new?
Typically 3–10 minutes depending on project complexity and server load. Push44 shows live status updates throughout the build.
What does 'max failed attempts' mean?
Rocket.new limits build attempts to prevent runaway builds. If a build fails multiple times, it locks the build queue. Push44's reset function clears this lock.
