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.
