upload exported Appery app to continue development

[An M]

Hi, I feel that I have not explained very good my question.

In my company we have development cycles. We might a version of the app, let it rest for 6 months 6 months later we keep on developing.

We love to develop the app on Appery and we would like to be able to cancel our account for 6 months and then re-activate it and continue development from where we left it.

When we reactivate the account, do we get access to our proyect where we left it? Can we upload a backup of the app to the account to continue development? Or do we need to keep paying appery on a monthly basis although we're not actively using it?

Thanks!

Hello,

Per our terms of use, we may suspend, terminate or delete free Accounts that are inactive for a period of two months or more. Our system will usually send you an email after 60 days of inactivity (no login, or API calls) to notify you of a pending deletion of content to give you a chance to maintain your account active. If your account continues inactive, your resources will be deleted and cannot be restored. Paid plans that are cancelled or expired due to lack of payment are subject to the same content deletion terms and practice https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...

Ok, we love Appery and we're going to subscribe initially to the Basic plan. I understand that by the Terms Of Service, after inactivity or nonpayment Appery can cancel the account. That is completely understood, you have written that many times but I think it is because I haven't explained myself correctly.

My question is regarding after we finish our first version (let's say, after 3 months in the basic plan).

When the first version is finished and in production we won't need to login into appery.io for a couple of months (let's say 6 months). After these 6 months we will most certainly want to continue using appery to develop our next version of the app. Is there someway we can pick up the app where we left it, that is, can the app saved in appery servers until the account is reactivates? can we download the first version and then upload that same signed and unmodified version of the app to continue development? Or the only way is to continue paying monthly although we don't need to access the account during the 6 months between development cycles?

Thanks!

Hi - You can login to your account from time to time to keep it active. However if you will not show any activity for a 60 days in line our system will initialize deactivation. And please note that apps backup is only available in Pro or higher plan. Exporting app source (Cordova project) is available in every plan.

Hi, when you say "And please note that apps backup is only available in Pro or higher plan" what do you mean by "App Backups" ?

I mean Appery.io project backup file, more details here: https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...
