Hi everyone! I’m Nick, and I’m the product manager for the Mobile team. We’re grateful for the excitement for Bubble’s native mobile app builder and wanted to give you an even more detailed look at our progress. The team has been working hard: In the last month, we shipped the alpha version and started the testing process with a group of 30 community members. Thanks to their feedback so far, we have finalized our roadmap for the beta. (If you’re not yet on the waitlist for the beta, you can sign up here.) Beta Features Roadmap That said, we’re excited to share a sneak peek of the beta roadmap! Our goal is to enable users to leverage end-to-end mobile development capabilities and ultimately publish your app to Apple and Google app stores. When you first get started, you can choose between building a brand new mobile app or leveraging data, styles, and backend workflows in an existing Bubble app. Unlike web apps with mobile wrappers, you’ll be able to… Build fully native apps for iOS and Android: Bubble’s mobile apps are built on React Native, a cross-platform framework that renders native code for both iOS and Android Build with native UI components (e.g., bottom sheets), define native navigation patterns (e.g., tab bar), use native gestures to trigger workflows (e.g. long press) for a truly native look and feel Define performant dynamic lists with built-in swipe actions Integrate with mobile device functionality: Access device camera, photo library, location services, and biometric authentication Define the offline read-only behavior of your apps Send push notifications to your app’s end-users Test and deploy your mobile app through new preview and publishing experiences Test your app right on your device using BubbleGo, a new mobile app of ours, without the need to use TestFlight or Android Studio Submit your app to Google Play Console and App Store Connect for review right from the Bubble editor Beta Timeline In terms of timing, our original goal was to start inviting users off the waitlist in Q3. Because the team shifted all hands on deck over the past few weeks to support urgent stability efforts, we’re now aiming to start inviting users off the waitlist in early Q4. We are confident about this new timeline. We hope this preview will help you plan ahead. We’ll share more updates as we continue to work on delivering the native mobile app building experience to you all. — Nick

I am so fricking excited for this!

Ready to pay for too? :wink: We have no idea how much they will charge for that.

Actually I expect it to be at no extra price given that they are having philosophy for people to pay for usage and not features. Having a mixed up approach is not good (which they do have a little bit right now too, while I think they shouldn’t)

You can actually read in @nick.carroll post [image] nick.carroll: To reiterate, projects can be web only (like today), mobile only, or web + mobile. During the alpha, we are still gathering feedback about pricing and will share more details during the beta. So actually, you will pay extra price for this features.

Really hoping they make it easy to convert the responsive version of the web app I’ve already built on Bubble to a mobile app. Already having nightmares about rebuilding all of the UI and workflows :dizzy_face:

I hope Bubble applications can also convert the front end and back end to generate React.js and Node.js. The code can then be exported and give developers the freedom to deploy on any host or cloud service.

I guess bluetooth will be also aviable?
