Native Integrations & External Plugin support

Mobile Beta
1

Hello @mobile-testers :wave:

The team would love to know more about your needs and wishlist items around integrations and plugins. As you have seen in the past couple of months, they keep pushing new updates to Mobile to make it easier and better to build with. Integrations and plugins are also a big part of it. So, the question is:

What Native Integrations or external plugin support would you like to see come to Bubble Mobile in 2025?

I would LOVE to be able to leverage live updates and widgets on iOS. Would be super cool for my use cases, as I’m sure it would be for others.

Others:
-Biometric Login
-Deeplinks
-Get Data from Webview
-Charts and Graphs?

Those would all be immediately helpful and useful. Not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for. But those, in addition to better Android support are what’s keeping us from making further advances with Bubble Native Mobile.

The biggest current issue for me is no Bubble Go App for Android so although I have 2 projects lined up to be native apps, I don’t want to start them until I can test on device.

The next couple of my must-haves are GPS integration, and deep linking.

Hope this helps!

Background Location Services would be priority for me. This will allow us to see and track drivers for our deliveries or where a person is at with someone’s item, etc.

  • Ability to send SMS natively from device (instead of needing to use Sendgrid). And I don’t mean opening the native messenger app so end user can send a text through that but actually being able to send SMS directly so we could create our own messaging apps.
  • Ability to read SMSs (to display in repeating groups).

A decent and full native map plugin. And by that I mean MapBox that is at least as developed as Zerocode’s popular plugin. Not the discount Google Maps version currently available in the classic editor.

Maps are the cornerstone of many native apps, and they tend to use a lot of memory, which is where a native version of the plugin would be a gift to many bubble developers.

This include:

  • Map event triggers
  • Cluster markers
  • Directions
  • Data layers
  • Polygons
  • And much more…

All features availably by the Natively wrapper. You will get requests on every single feature eventually.

  • More customization of the splash screen

For plugins… ALL of them. We need the diversity to create applications like the current editor. So getting that plugin dev. community going is alpha omega for getting mobile devs. to adopt the mobile editor.

Tip:

Get everyone here to submit their app names, then access the editor and see what plugins are used. Make a list. Those 20-50 topping are what you need to focus on.

And of course:

  • Fully integrated payment events - with iOS and Google. Not third party managed
  • Restore purchases action
  • Request Bearing, request location, request X… all permissions as action to define when permissions is given in the app.
  • Local storage (both cookies / dom data and offline data / local files)
  • Proper toast notifications
  • Visibility detector
  • Etc…

Most of this is obvious and need to haves. Some of it will probably be made by plugin developers. But please do the payments part inhouse to get that tightly integrated.

Also make the “Repeating group to snap” inhouse and integrated. Its too much of an integral part of designed with bubble now.

And finally, expose 10+ device variables available as global variables (device platform, is dark theme etc. Eg. here with nested items:

There’s definitely a few but for me most important:

  • Location Service, super needed, I think for most people it’s a prio for all kinds of apps.
  • Persistent App state for long term storage
  • Deeplinks
  • In app purchases

Some of our requirements include:

  • The ability to create plugins that can access hardware devices, such as Bluetooth.
  • Support for using Apple Pay and app purchases.
  • The capability to build plugins using third-party SDKs.
  • Device appearance detection (light or dark mode).
  • The ability to test push notifications within the BubbleGo app.
  • Deeplinks to direct users to specific views.
  • The ability to trigger the native share sheet.
  • Local storage using SQLite to work with offline data.

I’m not sure how this would work within Bubble itself though? Like that seems to be kind of outside the scope of what Bubble offers as an app building platform vs. an SMS platform like Twilio.

I just need the basics ASAP

  • BubbleGo for Android
  • Rich Text support
  • Deeplinking on Push Notification
  • Video Element
