" I will always recommend wrapping a web application if it is done professionally "
Second, an easy integration solution. No other development code to learn or continuously change. 80% of functions are covered by Bubble (and plugins). The idea of developing a single compatible application for all platforms is truly unique. With the new integration of Bubble Cloudflare, make it faster. Just good news.
I just compared the Bubble-Jasonelle app with iOS Messenger, LinkedIn, Skype and others for loading time, and Bubble is on average 2 seconds later to display the information. BTW the tested index page is a complex full page.
That is very acceptable. No one can say it’s a wrapper!
Advantages over other ‘wrappers’:
Compile once on Google Play and Apple Store (yes, no more submission to them!)
All changes made to Bubble are instantaneous for users
Free Open Source and Free
or Build a complete native app with Jasonelle and use Bubble as backend
I also recommend using an auto-REFRESH plugin when making changes to LIVE, so your users have nothing to do. Never again ‘Press here to refresh the screen’.
We have developed an MVP version of an app using Bubble and would like to have it as iOS and Android app but don’t seem to be able to follow your steps. It is our very first experience with app development and therefore are bit confused. I apologiese if the questions are very basic but:
Where do we get the url that goes at the end of the Return data from API?
Does this have to be a registered domain or can will it work for the demo verison of the app?
The first step, make it work with the regular way to be sure you grasp the concept. If it work, and only Jasonelle can’t read your file on the Return API, then be sure to point to another plateform first with GET to POST conversion as explained above (with Integromat). Bubble doesnt yet accept GET. Nothing perfect.
For any native project, you need an account with Apple ($100) and Google Play ($35) valid for one year. If you want to save this cost, you need to take other wrappers that control your application and all carries some risk. For experimental reasons, why not!
I will welcome @Sam with his new integration for Android (13$) with Nativator. Nativator
Everything I’ve published has been tested and works fine on Xcode. Sometimes you need to step back, and start over, step by step. I did this several times before I realized that I was erasing critical information by mistake (especially in Xcode). I haven’t finished my tests on Android Studio since I’m waiting for a custom development.
You can make a complete application with Jasonnelle without even going through Bubble (or use Bubble as a database). So make sure that the content of Bubble is displayed correctly, then you have to add the iOS or Android functions one at a time according to your needs in the json file which does not need to be a file (see the explanations above).
By the way I use BDK Env plugin to pass my variables and call Jasonelle. You can DM with your details, and I can take a look. You can also ask for help on Jasonelle’s site if some functions do not seem to work.
To display the notification, it is simply adding a few lines and the call is done with the BDK Env plugin JS calls (or the Toolbox plugin).
Hi, can you show how to use test flight to get users on app without apple developer account? if that’s possible. I’m trying to build something for competition deadline and probably won’t get reviewed in time for app store.
Choose Test Flight and your new build version. Choose who you want to test your application. Add it to your group of testers you need to create before. An email and a name are requested.
