Was skimming trough quite a few topics back from 2015 to see and summary on what’s the current status of Mobile App Development, but could not find any topic with the info combined in one place.
It’s clear that the whole app development is still in (early) beta, but there’s quite a few things already available and working, and I see users launching their apps already.
I was thinking that it would be useful to maintain a current list of known limitations just to be sure that you don’t have sudden surprises on the way in your development.
This can also be used as a checklist of issues to be addressed for people waiting for the mobile\native app development to kick-in
What are you meaning by size? If you’re asking about screen resolution, there isn’t a single answer. Both devices have several different popular resolutions, with android having a kazillion different options.
“Remember the email” option for login/signup does not work on Android.
Also:
Google Fonts actually do work on a Bubble mobile app, you just need to add them. For a Bubble iOS app you need to add the names of the fonts in the index.html file. If you’re using the Bubble Account preview app, your custom fonts won’t work, but when you get ready to package it for the App Store, you’ll be able to get them working.
You can also successfully get the Search Box to work when you package your app for the App Store. Someone posted the edit you can make to get it working in the forum, but I can’t find the post right now. I tested it, and successfully got the Search Box working on an iOS app.
Honestly, there have been a lot of breakthroughs on using Bubble for mobile apps over the past 6 months or so. Even though the Bubble team doesn’t have a set date to push forward with mobile apps just yet, there are a handful of Bubblers across the forum that keep finding out ways to extend Bubble’s functionality in mobile apps.
EDIT: Found the awesome post by @vaughnwibbles about how he got the search box working:
Hi, I have users complaining because the picture uploader does not work on Android mobile app. Does anyone know if and how this issue is solved ? Maybe @natedogg can help … Thanks.
Is there any update on this? I mean I know that it must be in Bubble’s roadmap, but do we know what are the timelines we are looking at?
Mobile apps are critical and due to the limitations mentioned by @vladlarin users get very suboptimal experience and creating an app is very hard as well.
