Can Bubble Build a Mobile App?

Yes, in two different ways. Bubble is testing its own native mobile app builder in private beta, which means redesigning your screens specifically for iOS and Android. If you want to ship without waiting for beta access or rebuilding your interface, you can also package the Bubble web app you already built into an iPhone and Android app with WebNativeApp.

Bubble can build the product, but the store app needs one more decision.

Bubble already gives you the pages, workflows, database, and plugins your users interact with. Getting that product into the App Store and Google Play as a real, installable app is a separate step, and Bubble now offers two different routes to get there: its own native builder, still in private beta, or a native shell wrapped around the web app you already publish.

Build in Bubble

Use the editor to create your screens, workflows, database, and plugin integrations, the same way you always have.

Choose your mobile route

Wait for Bubble's native beta and redesign your screens for it, or keep your existing web app and package it as-is.

Ship to both stores

Either route ends with a signed iOS and Android build ready for App Store Connect and Google Play.

How to make a mobile app with Bubble.

You can do the entire product build in Bubble. The decision that matters most is whether you rebuild for Bubble's native beta or package the responsive web app you already have.

Design the app you want: Build the pages, data types, workflows, and plugins your product needs, the same way as any Bubble project.
Make it work on a phone screen: Fix responsive layouts, page widths, mobile navigation, and tap targets so the core journey works well on a small screen.
Publish to a production domain: Use your live Bubble app or a connected custom domain, not the development version, as the source for either mobile route.
Pick your mobile path: Request access to Bubble's native app beta and redesign key screens for it, or keep the web app as-is and package it with WebNativeApp.
Test the real user journey: Try login, payments, file uploads, plugin popups, and account deletion on a real phone before submitting anywhere.
Submit to the stores: Prepare App Store Connect and Google Play Console listings, screenshots, privacy answers, and reviewer access, then send the build for review.

What Bubble creates, and what still needs to be added.

Bubble creates the experience

Your pages, workflows, database, plugins, and business logic live in the Bubble app you build and publish, whichever mobile route you choose.

The mobile layer makes it installable

It adds the iPhone and Android projects, app icon, splash screen, store identity, native bridge, and the files a store submission needs.

You keep improving it in Bubble

Product changes stay in the Bubble editor. With the WebNativeApp route, most updates reach the installed app through the live website without a new store build.

Bubble's native beta is a second real path, not the only one.

Bubble's native app builder is a genuine way to get a store app, but it comes with real trade-offs today. It is in private beta, it currently requires a paid Bubble plan to deploy, and it does not convert your existing pages automatically: Bubble's own documentation says pages must be redesigned for native mobile components and gestures rather than copied from the web app. Packaging your existing Bubble web app with WebNativeApp skips the beta wait and the redesign, at the cost of native-only interactions Bubble's dedicated builder can offer.

Your Bubble app is built. Now make it downloadable.

WebNativeApp fills the gap between your published Bubble app and a store-ready native project, without a beta waitlist or a second interface to design.

Paste your Bubble app URL: Use the production domain or connected custom domain of your live Bubble app.
Choose iPhone, Android, or both: Add the app name, icon, launch colors, and the native phone features your product needs.
Get ready for the stores: Test the mobile version and continue through the Apple App Store and Google Play release steps.

Is your Bubble app ready to become a mobile app?

Your Bubble app is ready when

It is published at a public HTTPS address, not a development or preview link.
The main journey works from beginning to end on a real phone screen.
Mobile navigation and tap targets work without pinch-zooming.
Login, payments, uploads, and plugin popups work correctly in a mobile view.
The app has clear loading, empty, error, and offline messages.

You will also need for the stores

An app name, square icon, short description, and screenshots.
A privacy policy, support contact, and account deletion flow when accounts are available.
An Apple Developer account for the App Store.
A Google Play developer account for Android.
A test account for reviewers if users must sign in.

What can the mobile version add?

The Bubble experience remains the product. The mobile project can add phone features around it when they make the app easier or more useful.

Push notifications

Bring users back for reminders, bookings, order updates, or messages, without waiting for Bubble's native beta to reach general availability.

Native phone behavior

Add a launch screen, haptics, safe areas, native navigation, and correct Android back-button behavior.

Device capabilities

Use the camera, Face ID or biometrics, document scanning, maps, or social login when the workflow needs them.

What Bubble says about native mobile apps.

Bubble describes its native mobile app builder as a way to build for web and iOS/Android from one project, sharing the same database and workflows. As of this writing, the feature is in private beta, deploying to the stores requires a paid web plan, and existing web pages are not converted automatically: Bubble recommends redesigning pages for native components and gestures instead of copying them from the web app.
