You also need to add a special function at the top of the build.settings file and provide your Patreon email and an access key. The access key you get when you become a patron.
local spiralcodestudio_patreon_email = 'YOUR_EMAIL'
local spiralcodestudio_key = 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY'
local function spiralcodestudio_plugin(name)
local plugin = {publisherId = 'com.spiralcodestudio', supportedPlatforms = {}}
local platforms = {'android', 'appletvos', 'appletvsimulator', 'iphone', 'iphone-sim', 'mac-sim', 'win32-sim'}
for i = 1, #platforms do
local platform = platforms[i]
plugin.supportedPlatforms[platform] = {url = 'https://build.spiralcodestudio.com/' .. spiralcodestudio_patreon_email .. '/' .. spiralcodestudio_key .. '/solar2d/' .. name .. '_' .. platform .. '.tgz'}
end
return plugin
end
