# 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.
