Excited to announce that BDK Native Apps is now open for everyone to try out. Before: Start a project & purchase the BDK Native apps service You receive your native app & the plugin was authorized Start adding native capabilities into your bubble app Test your app with friends, beta and list to app store Now: Install the Native apps plugin from the bubble plugin store ($16) Start adding native capabilities into your bubble app Test your app through the ‘Preview mode’ in the demo app when viewed on device Show it off to your friends, potential customers Start a project & purchase the BDK Native apps service, after trying & testing your native app. Some cool things about the preview mode: You have access to all the latest features in the preview mode If you’re building an app for someone else, e.g. you’re an agency this could be a great way to show a working native app to your clients before they ask for it Same plugin is used between preview mode & your native app. No need to rebuild workflows. Oh, also the demo app, preview mode etc. are themselves built on bubble & bdk native :smiley: Get Started Here Cheers, Gaurav

Hey everyone, I was on a break until July 14 for some once-in-a-lifetime type of personal thing which is now wrapped up nicely. Meanwhile I had set an automated response set up in chat as well last week. Looks like that didn’t get fired. Back to work will full force now. As a priority, got back to processing the backlog of builds since yesterday and already through 60% of it. As for the bdk app itself, I’ve updated it to a new version, which is under beta review by apple. It’s taking longer for them than usual. I’m expecting an approval within the next 10-12 hours from them (based on past patterns). Please note that other than the preview mode, everything else including creating projects etc. can be done via the BDK Native bubble web app which is the same. Once apple approves it should automatically become available on testflight. Generally testers are notified by apple via email as well. Regardless I’ll drop a note here on this thread too. You simply need to open the testflight app on your iOS device and click update on the bdk app. Alternatively, you can go to https://thebdk.page.link/install and follow the steps there.

Welcome back! We missed you! <3

Of course not but at least it feels a bit more reassuring that a company is behind it with multiple people. About Bubble native…given the track record of Bubble last years I would be careful to put all your eggs in their bucket or even trust that bubble native will be a rock solid solution anytime soon.

Update: The new version is now be available. If you’re not automatically updated, you can do so via Testflight app on your iOS device. Or follow the step-by-step instructions at https://thebdk.page.link/install

Welcome back Chief :saluting_face:

[image] sem: I would be careful to put all your eggs in their bucket or even trust that bubble native will be a rock solid solution anytime soon. I was in the same boat as you, but am now in the mobile native alpha and they’ve really done quite a good job so far and it exceeded what I expect. It’ll also be ready for ‘real’ apps sooner than I was telling clients too.

Is it stand alone meaning that we can plugin Bubble or other db? Is the code ours so we can take it elsewhere if we please or are we more locked in like we are with Bubble? If it is not all of the above, does it mean that we can have a native mobile app “with a push of a button “ or do we need to refactor workflows and have separate workflows for the mobile app? Is it having all the native features such as face recognition, health sdk, social logins, location in background etc etc?

I want to give a 5-star review to BDK and their support! :star::star::star::star::star:

I would like to rate BDK with 5 stars! Greate product. My personal inquaries are to add Apple push kit (so that apps that use calling functionality (audio, video) could use native call functionality) and to add Apple Health kit so that we could get access to important data (for medical apps this is crucial).

hey ! make sure to use this from the official documentation " Add the workflow 'BN - Remove loading ’ on page load for your bubble app pages. This workflow step tells the native app to make the loading animation disappear. " That was the issue for me
