Help with the mobile editor and preview

Hey everyone!

I have started the journey of trying to create a mobile app based on my web app.

It seems like the mobile preview is not working and I cannot get it to work - I’ve been literally trying to do anything on the mobile editor but have been unsuccessful to get anything to work.

Example - my web app has a lot of repeating groups. I am using short list for mobile and even though I have created the interface and testing the app - the preview is not working and all it says no matter what I do is “Bad element type: RepeatingGroup” - and I don’t even have a repeating group in my mobile editor, just the “short list”.

Also, I cannot pull data from my backend - it’s just not working whatever I do.

Has anyone been able to solve this?

It seems turning the web app into a mobile app using the data I already have is impossible.

PS - the webapp is live for almost a year, with over 1,400 users that are waiting for a mobile version, and I have not been able to get anything done.

Is it a bunch of bugs or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Mirna

PS - BubbleGo just shows the first page - I cannot view different pages I am trying to build on BubbleGo.


Can you show us your elements tree? Did you copy any elements from web to mobile? If you copied and haven’t changed the references, that might be the issue.

I just realised I have had a hidden repeating group in the tree - removed that but the same problem persists - it’s not showing anything now in the preview editor, even though I have a short list created from scratch using only elements that are available for mobile. The preview is just blank.

Nice progress!

Have you set the data source and is it pulling any data in? Is the Short list visible or does it have any conditionals on it that will make it hidden?
