Quick Start Checklist
✅ Step 1: Prepare Your Lovable.dev App
Make sure your app is published with a secure HTTPS link (e.g.,
https://myapp.lovable.dev).Test your app in a mobile browser (Safari/Chrome) to check layouts.
Ensure each important page has a unique URL (e.g.,
/login,/profile,/checkout).
✅ Step 2: Connect to BuildNatively
Log in to your BuildNatively dashboard.
Click Create New App.
Enter your app name and paste your Lovable.dev URL.
Save — your app is now inside BuildNatively.
✅ Step 3: Customize Your App
Upload your App Icon (1024x1024 PNG).
Upload your Splash Screen (2048x2048 PNG).
Adjust style, colors, and navigation (Bottom Bar, Top Bar, etc.).
Decide which native features you need (push notifications, social login, payments, etc.).
✅ Step 4: Test on Your Phone
Download the BuildNatively Preview App (iOS/Android).
Log in and preview your app.
Remember: some features (push notifications, in-app purchases) won’t work in preview, only in the final build.
✅ Step 5: Publish Your App
Connect your Apple Developer Account
Connect your Google Play Developer Account.
Build your app in BuildNatively (takes about 10 minutes).
Submit to the App Store and Google Play Store.
🚀 Pro Tips for Success
Mark external links (Stripe, YouTube, Calendly, etc.) in BuildNatively so they open in the browser.
For digital products/subscriptions, use In-App Purchases instead of Stripe.
Fill out permission descriptions (e.g., “We use your location to show nearby events”).
Use push notifications + deeplinks to guide users directly to content.
That’s it! 🎉 You’re ready to take your Lovable.dev app live as a real mobile app.
