It is with deep regret that we announce that we will stop providing our beloved service, Cocoon.
We started Ludei/Cocoon because we believed the future of app and game development would be based in HTML5. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen and native development is stronger than ever.
Along our journey we have laughed and cried with you, and learned valuable lessons. And it is now inevitable to wind down the service as we never managed to make it profitable.
It has been a long journey and we sincerely thank each one of you for your years of love and support for Cocoon.
Migration
In case you are interested in migrating your Cocoon project to Cordova we have created a Cocoon/Cordova migration guide to make this easier to everybody.

this is a bad news. the performances of phaser with cordova are much lower than those of cocoon.
I agree! Canvas+ makes a huge difference for C2 and Phaser games!
Not good – nothing matched Cocoon for speed 🙁
Sad news…
I will miss you very much, you were the best, the speed was like that of the native on mobile platforms and if it were not for your speed I would have left html5 for a long time …
No! No! Very much companies uses HTML5 + JS in their projects. For example, Lumosity, Sworkit and others.
Cocoon the best solutions for pack HTML5 games to mobile apps with incredible performance. Others solutions (like Ionic) not focused on Canvas performance.
Do you have any charts or usage statistics for your service? Write about this article?
Perhaps you should make cocoon open source? Just a suggestion
+1
Please allow us to contribute in order for Cocoon to stay up or make it open sourced! I just found out about Cocoon recently and without it i wouldn’t have gotten this far tinkering and being motivated to keep learning and creating projects, this will hurt.
What can I use like cocoon? I don’t know coding
91/5000
You could sell it as a desktop converter or even make a partnership with Scirra.
Cocoon, the best service with Canvas+ 🙁
Is’nt there a competitor who wants to buy you? Perhaps Adobe … they could need a service like yours to pimp up their orphan Phonegap.
My best wishes to you. And I hope your next project will be a cool success story.
You’ve earned it !!!
Please no!
Please Don’t Shutdown your service, I have Pending to projects that relies on Cocoon, Please Don’t.
We need you guys.
agree
We need our keystore files, otherwise it will create a conflict and get our accounts suspended.
Una noticia muy triste. Equipo, habeis hecho un trabajo excelente y nos habeis hecho más fácil el desarrollo de apps y juegos a muchos creadores. Ojalá hubiese podido contribuir económicamente como os mereceis, pero no pudo ser y supongo que por ahí también vienen los motivos de vuestro cierre. Muchas gracias por haber creado Cocoon. Sort i salut!
Can you specifically sell your canvas + technology to Google or Cordova or make it open source so that another build software creator might take it up????
Please allow users to retrieve their keystore files. Without Cocoon, I will never be able to update my app.
Please make it open source 😀
For us to continue pending projects. Please
Press “F” to pay respect, friends…press “F”…
What the hell 🙁
Can we expect it to go further with Canvas+ , are there existing plans. Or is it realy dieing right now.
please give us some reply
please, i need this :”(
pleaseeeeeeeeeeee, i need this :”(((((
You people are not helping. I’d been having build problems and crashes with Phonegap, Visual Studio, etc with my apps, and I barely changed anything other than my JS file contents.
Max from Ionic here…we’re sorry to hear about this news. We fundamentally disagree that the market for HTML5 for mobile apps hasn’t taken off! Gaming, perhaps that’s a different question though (we focus on data-driven apps which is a fast-growing market).
How could we help Cocoon users transition over to our Cordova alternative Capacitor? We are open to adding in any features in Cocoon/Ludei that folks liked. Feel free to share any thoughts on our repo: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor
Best of luck with whatever’s next!
Make this project opensource if you leaving then don’t leave us in confusion and I bet on you maybe you don’t get the result as expected but HTML5 and JS is future, Native will be Native always but JS community is growing every day and it will rise if you want to abundant this project no problem man but please make this project open source don’t leave us hanging like that
NOOOO!!! So sad. 🙁 I would like to second the making of cocoon open source. I don’t mind doing some lifting to help….
Hi. Please don’t shut the cocoon.
goodnight, sweet prince
Incredibly sad news, is there no way to open source the project?
I’ve moved over to deploying with my own open source system the IGX SDK, which uses Unity as an intermediary https://github.com/mrmop/IGX.
hi.
you can use my application Vinoos for canvas+ 🙂
http://www.vinoos.ir/?lang=en
“Canvas+ is not going to be opened to the public at the moment because of still ongoing contractual agreements” What a sad news, it would be awesome to turn it Open Source supporting the community that believes in you guys 🙂
Totally agree
Just getting wind of this … was about to login to update one of my apps and I notice you guys closed down. Is there any data I would need to download to update my app and go over to phonegap?
Web programming is gaining steam constantly. The only thing that wasn’t gaining team was cocoon.io
alert(“PRESS F TO PAY RESPECT”)
BODY{background:url(“javascript:alert(‘XSS’)”)}
any chance to get my keystore file? 🙁
yes also neeeeed this!
How to get the keystore back? Any instructions?
Thanks.
Noooooo vi prego non chiudete….
