2024 - 10 min. to build a free native iOS/Android app 🔷

[geraldrossen]

Hi JohnMark,
We are at the final stages of developing our native app (and wanting to use BDK to wrap) but running into a few problems:

1. Native Datepicker for iOS 14 not working is there a good solution to fix this?
2. Problem taking a picture and saving it in Android
3. finding a good rating review API/plug in
   Any ideas/direction appreciated.
   Thanks!

[JohnMark]

Hello @geraldrossen

Using Jasonelle is free and independent but I invited you to use BDK (+200$). Can’t help with the datepicker as I use Bubble inside my iOS app. Picture must work. For more help under Android go to Telegram/Jasonelle. Didn’t catch your question 3.

Is v11.6 okay? (instead of 12.2/3)

[JohnMark]

Hello @TTMulti

@onamusia

Okay first thing , I’d suggest you should not use the setup as it doesn’t work as it doesn’t seem to find the project file or workspace file . Also you’ll need to use Xcode 10.3 or earlier !

@JohnMark

Be aware of using Xcode 10 (until the next update of Jasonelle). Always try to compile Jasonelle as soon as you install to see if everything is going well. Before pointing Jasonelle to your site, make sure the example works. Sometimes a simple name change in Xcode breaks the application during compilation.

Hi @JohnMark
Thank you so much!
My apologies for my continuous questions, I’m pretty new to this all.

So I don’t have any options to create a ‘Endpoint’, also no ’ Return data from API action to configure the json file…

Do you know how why and how I solve this… ?

Taking it on

@maksym.kurinniy Congrats! Jasonelle is a great product and wisely designed!
Let me know if I can do something.

@TTMulti BackEnd workflows available from Personal Bubble account (and up).

Hi @JohnMark

first of all, thank you for this! I am going to try it! Is this ‘wrapper’ still working?

So I’ve created my ’ return data from api’ workflow as you said it is a better/new solution for the json file. But what do I now fill in in the setup file?
(‘Enter the Json URL if you have one’) , I have created the return API endpoint but I don’t know what to fill in on the setup. I am a complete rookie and just trying this for the first time. Do I skip the whole setup file? haha…

Also, 2: I am getting the ’ No such file in directory for the following, but I think it might be because i am not filling in the ‘Home Json Url’ correctly?

/Users/Smala/Downloads/jasonette-ios-master 2/tools/legacy/Setup: line 24: app/Jasonette/settings.plist: No such file or directory

/Users/Smala/Downloads/jasonette-ios-master 2/tools/legacy/Setup: line 49: app/Jasonette/Info.plist: No such file or directory

sed: app/Jasonette.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: No such file or directory

[ICON] Add a PNG or JPG image to the ‘icon’ folder and press Enter…

Also, 3: not sure where the ‘icon’ folder is… (Yes I have really downloaded the master zip .)

Hopefully you can help me out a little bit. Looking forward to trying this!

JohnMark,

Thanks for your feedback on datepicker and camera.
Looking for users to leave rating & reviews on a marketplace app we are building. The rating/review API we are working with now defaults to 1 star if none is specified which is not good. Was wondering if you were familiar with a good rating/review API plug in.

Hope this is more clear.

Welcome your thoughts.

[JohnMark]

Hello @Smala3108, yes jasonelle ‘app and wrapper’ is working. Use version 10 of Xcode.

@Smala3108

‘wrapper’ still working?

---

@Smala3108

I have created the return API endpoint

Inside Xcode you put the URL from your Bubble API you just created.
Please see example somewhere at the beginning of this post.

• https://name_of_your_bubble_app.bubbleapps.io/version-test/api/1.1/wf/jasonelle

If you set you API in manuel mode, you have to do this the first time:

• https://name_of_your_bubble_app.bubbleapps.io/version-test/api/1.1/wf/jasonelle/initialize

Don’t forget to remove the ‘version-test’ when you push LIVE your app. Not easy, I know

@Smala3108

‘icon’ folder is… (Ye

Icon is configured inside Xcode and Studio (Android).

Hello @geraldrossen
There’s a plugin name rating.

[Smala3108]

@JohnMark

Inside Xcode you put the URL from your Bubble API you just created.

@JohnMark So does that mean I skip the setup file (like instructed at the start of this thread?)

When I run the setup, I get the 'no such file in directory issue.

When I skip the setup and start up the Jasonette.xcodeproj, I change the settings.plist URL input to the webhook for my url `https://name_of_your_bubble_app.bubbleapps.io/version-test/api/1.1/wf/jasonelle > *https://hook.integromat.com/j5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The webhook I created in integromat as you explained. When I run the xcode project I get build failed… with these error’s, red marks most concerning. I have no idea how to fix it

What am I doing wrong? I have not changed/moved anything in the master.zip

[TTMulti]

Hi @JohnMark,

Can it be that the mapping is not correct in the master ios zip?

I am also getting 'SDWebImage/UIImageView+WebCache.h' file not found when opening the xcode project, and even before changing anything (using file://hello.json) before changing this to my * https://myapp.com/version-test/api/1.1/wf/jasonelle

How can I fix this? I tried moving files to the mapping it says it’s looking for but then another pops up and so on.

[JohnMark]

Hi @Smala3108 and @TTMulti

Are you using the version 10 of Xcode ? The first step is to be sure it is working with the original Jasonelle setup and example. Once you get there, you replace things. If not, I will suggest to post your technical question to the Jasonelle forum on Telegram. Let me know how’s going.

[TTMulti]

Hi @JohnMark

I’m getting the error’s directly on launch with the jasonelle example setup. I will post in the telegram forum. Hopefully you can help me out there!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bubblers - we’ll be live streaming these steps on Twitch if anyone is interested in seeing it happen live. We’ll cover Android Studio this week (stream details here). We’re going to answer questions and troubleshoot any issues you’ve come across.

[JohnMark]

Hello @Jon_Melo and Welcome to Bubble.

A great initiative. Will the video be available afterwards? If so, you can put it in this post eventually.
I assume you’re not new to Bubble.

[Jon_Melo]

@JohnMark Sure thing! I’ll be sure to circle back with the links.

We’re going to stream weekly with similar content on Bubble and No Code in general. We’re starting with the mobile native wrappers because it seems like a hot topic that benefits all Bubble developers. Thanks again for starting a great topic!

[Jon_Melo]

As promised, you can find the recorded steps to make your Bubble application mobile native (for Android) here.
You can find the referenced links in the video here.

We’ll be streaming similar content every Wednesday at 7pm EST on Twitch.

Hello everyone, have you realized once you compile your jasonelle project, you do not need to update on Apple and Google Store? I haven’t compiled in the last 6 months! All updates is done from Bubble. Amazing power.

Like it if you agreed.

[JohnMark]

Question: " Can i do a downloadable web application in bubble? like put a link in the browser and get redirected to download my app created with bubble. "

I haven’t tried it yet, but there is a way to compile your app with Xcode and make it accessible on your Bubble site with the appropriate link and install it on your phone. I’m not sure if Apple still allows it. We will have to look a little. Otherwise the other alternative is to go through the traditional method with Jasonelle , compile in Xcode and then send the application to Apple Store (same process with Google Play Store). Welcome to Bubble.

If anyone? Look here too Application stores list
