Bubble to mobile app

In one sentence

BuildMyAPK converts your Bubble project into a mobile app. Use Existing backend mode with your live URL, GitHub repo, or OpenAPI spec to generate a branded Expo client with live preview and APK export.

How Bubble to app works

Switch to Existing backend in the dashboard. Attach your Bubble site URL — and optionally OpenAPI or a GitHub repository. BuildMyAPK extracts brand tokens, plans mobile screens, and writes an Expo / React Native client that can call your existing API.

What you need to provide

Minimum: your live site URL and a prompt describing the mobile flows you want.

  • Published Bubble app URL
  • Bubble Data API or workflow API documentation
  • Prompt for mobile-native navigation (tabs, stacks)

Bubble backend reality

Bubble runs responsive web apps on Bubble's runtime. BuildMyAPK does not embed Bubble — it generates a new Expo client. Use your Bubble app URL for brand context; for live data, expose Bubble API workflows via OpenAPI or document the Data API endpoints you want the mobile app to call.

Not a WebView wrapper

A wrapper APK loads your site in embedded browser chrome. BuildMyAPK generates native-style React Native screens that match your brand — which you can iterate in chat and export as real source code.

How to start

Create an account, open the dashboard, and describe the product in one sentence — or paste a website URL. Preview the live app in a phone frame, iterate in chat, then export source or run a cloud build for APK or IPA.

FAQ

Can BuildMyAPK run my Bubble app inside an APK?

That would be a WebView wrap. BuildMyAPK generates native Expo screens instead — better UX and exportable source.
