Base44 builds the web product and offers a store packaging route.
Build in Base44
Start with one useful task: booking an appointment, checking an order, or updating a customer record. Describe the screens and the result users should reach.
Make it mobile-first
Review the entire journey on a phone. A responsive layout is a starting point; short forms, readable text, and comfortable navigation make it usable.
Choose how people install it
A home-screen web app and a store download serve different distribution needs. Choose before preparing launch assets so your onboarding instructions match the experience. Base44 manages the web app manifest used for home-screen installation. Using Base44 on mobile
How to make a mobile app with Base44.
- Define the first user journey: Specify who the app serves, the information they need, and the action they should complete.
- Refine the phone layout: Check navigation, keyboard overlap, long lists, and validation messages on narrow screens.
- Publish and test: Try the live app with a fresh account and realistic data. Repeat the main journey outside your editor session.
- Choose a release route: For Base44's built-in route, open Publish → Mobile app, scan for issues, and generate an iOS IPA or Android AAB. Downloads require Builder or higher. Base44 store submission guide
- Prepare the release: Test the packaged app and complete your store listings. Packaging does not guarantee approval.
- Plan ongoing support: Give users a clear way to report problems and record which app version they are using.
What Base44 creates, and what still needs your attention.
The mobile package keeps your web experience
Base44's store package loads your published app in a web view. Most published content changes carry through; shell changes need a new release. How Base44 packaging works
Mobile quality remains product work
A wrapper cannot make a confusing form easier to understand. Prioritize fast access to the main action, useful errors, and a clear route back after opening an external link.
Exporting does not move the entire platform
Base44 documents code export on Builder or higher, but its managed authentication, hosting, and database infrastructure are not exported. Treat a move to another backend as separate work. Base44 export documentation
The Base44 mobile app is not your customer-facing app.
Base44's own mobile app lets creators manage projects. Your product needs its own release and identity for customers to find it under your brand. Base44's mobile apps
Your Base44 app is built. When does WebNativeApp fit?
WebNativeApp is an alternative for turning your published web app into an iPhone and Android project. Consider it when you want to manage the mobile layer separately while continuing to build your product in Base44.
- Paste your published Base44 URL: Start with the version customers can actually use.
- Configure your mobile project: Choose iOS, Android, or both, then prepare the name, icon, and phone integrations.
- Test the complete experience: Verify authentication, links, uploads, and permission prompts in the installed app before submitting it.
Use the Base44 to mobile app guide for the web conversion workflow. Compare the integrations you need before choosing a packaging service.

Start with a useful event, such as a booking change. Decide who should receive it, when it should arrive, and which screen should open after a tap.
Phone-specific behavior
Test safe areas, the launch screen, external links, and back navigation. With a separately managed mobile project, validate each native integration against your actual workflow.
Offline and device features
Base44 currently lists full offline mode and HealthKit as unsupported. If either is central to your product, resolve that requirement before choosing your architecture. Base44 native feature limitations

Base44 mobile app questions
Can Base44 build a mobile app?
Yes. Base44 offers web apps and store packaging. Start by deciding how customers should access your product, then test the chosen experience on their devices.
Do I need WebNativeApp to publish a Base44 app?
No. WebNativeApp is an alternative for managing a mobile project around your published Base44 URL. Compare both workflows against the integrations and release control you need.
Is adding a Base44 app to the home screen the same as an App Store release?
No. A home-screen web app is installed through the browser. A store release gives customers a listing and a store installation flow.
Can I use the same Base44 app for iOS and Android?
Yes. Both mobile packages can use the same published web product. Test each platform separately, especially authentication, navigation, and permissions.
Do I need to export code for WebNativeApp?
No. The URL-based WebNativeApp workflow starts from your published app. Keep its hosting available so the installed app can reach it.
Will packaging fix my mobile layout?
No. Fix layout and usability in the web product first, then test again inside the installed app.
