Hi everyone, I’m at a crossroads with my app development and could really use some community insight. I currently have a working PWA built with Progressier, but as I plan to launch my app on the App Store with native features, I’m torn between two approaches for the rebuild: Using a wrapper (thin…

Normally, I would say to go with BDK first (if you need to release something fast), but @gaurav seem to be hard to reach for support actually. Even if Bubble release their Beta version of mobile editor, I don’t expect it to be stable and reliable before 2026… BDK is easy to add to your existing a…

100% wait for native. Beg to get on the Beta so you can build it now. (or do both :slightly_smiling_face:, conversion to Native is not a big lift) - also as ever I respect and agree with @jici

I agree however with @lindsay_knowcode , if you can get the Beta now… this is the best you can do…

We use build natively, better support than BDK. Up and running in an hour or so. You can test it for free.

Super helpful replies. Question as I continue considering… Do you think if I build with BDK or Natively and launch app, then a couple years down the road rebuild with Bubble Native, will the same “app” my users have downloaded still work or will it be a nightmare to shift my users over to the new a…

I believe that you will be able to just upload a new version on the app store so user can use “update” function of their app store to get the new version of your app. But I don’t have access to the beta actually so maybe someone that is more familiar with it can answer you about that.

You should not worry too much about migration. Yes it is an issue if you do not provide much value and earn money because of sleeping subscriptions. But otherwise, users will put in a little effort. Let me put it otherwise, I hope you get major migrating pain because you have millions of users. That…

Thanks for the feedback everyone. From what I’m reading and seeing, I’m planning to wait for Bubble’s native. I’m excited about this as it won’t cost me any extra and seems to have most, if not all of the features I need. Wish I could get access to the beta now, but the waitlist is where I’m at. Ex…
