Bubble native mobile leaves beta with a one-click web app converter

Bubble took its native mobile app builder out of beta and opened it to everyone, and added a converter that turns an existing Bubble web app into a mobile one.

To convert, pick the web app and click + Create a mobile app. Bubble builds a working mobile version from what's already there. The mobile app and the web app run on one shared backend, so your database, logic and design carry over, and you keep refining the result in the same editor.

Bubble says it shipped more than 50 features on the way out of beta. It says more than 99.5% of iOS and Android users of Bubble-built apps see no crashes, and that apps open up to twice as fast as they did during the beta. Over-the-air updates let a fix reach users the next time they open the app, without an app store resubmission, and they're unlimited on paid plans.

Publishing happens from the Bubble editor. A guided setup walks through connecting to the App Store and Google Play, including push notifications and in-app purchases. Native Apple and Google subscriptions are in beta.
