SuperApp:Install and configure the HBuilderX Plugin

Last Updated:Sep 25, 2025

The HBuilderX plugin supports offline installation only. After installation and configuration, when you publish a UniApp miniapp in HBuilderX, the system automatically synchronizes the build artifacts to the Application Open Platform.

Prerequisites

Download and install HBuilderX before proceeding. For installation instructions, see Install.

Install the Plugin

  1. Download the HBuilderX installation package.

  2. Copy the superapp-uniapp-tool.zip installation package to the installation directory of HBuilderX.

    • Installation path in Windows: ...\<Root directory of the HBuilderX installation directory>\plugins.

    • Installation path in macOS: /Applications/HBuilderX.app/Contents/HBuilderX/plugins.

  3. Decompress the package. Manually decompress superapp-uniapp-tool.zip to the plugins directory. After the package is decompressed, a file named superapp-uniapp-tool is added to the directory.

    Important

    On macOS, do not use the unzip superapp-uniapp-tool.zip command to extract the package. This will extract all files directly into the plugins directory, flattening the structure and preventing the plugin from loading.

  4. Restart HBuilderX to load the plugin.

Configure the extension

  1. Open the extension configuration page.

    • Windows

      Choose Tool > Plug-in Installation. The Plug-in Installation panel appears.
