Lovable to iOS and Android
Turn your Lovable app into a real mobile app.
Same Supabase backend, same users, same logins. We wrap your Lovable app with Capacitor, so what you prompt in Lovable reaches the phones too, or rebuild the screens in React Native or Flutter when the app has to feel fully native. Then we take it through App Store and Google Play review.
- From $300, paid once
- Capacitor or fully native
- Published under your name
Two ways to build it
Wrapped or rebuilt, the backend behind it stays.
Your backend stays
The mobile app talks to the same Supabase database, auth and edge functions as your Lovable web app. One account works on both, and no data moves.
Capacitor: you keep building in Lovable
Your Lovable app goes inside real iOS and Android projects, with native push, offline handling, sharing and Sign in with Apple added. It stays one codebase, so the next change you prompt in Lovable ships with the next app build. Already wrapped it yourself? We take over your Capacitor project as it is.
Native rebuild: when the phone is the product
For long feeds, chat, maps or heavy gestures we rebuild the screens, usually in React Native with Expo, so your TypeScript types and Supabase queries carry over.
Published under your name
The app goes out on your own Apple and Google developer accounts. We prepare the builds and handle the App Store and Google Play submission with you.
4.2
A wrapper alone gets rejected. So we add the native parts.
Apple often rejects a website in a frame under App Store Guideline 4.2, minimum functionality. Our Capacitor apps go to review with native features that give the reviewer a reason to approve them. And when your app lives on scrolling, gestures or video, where a wrapped app never quite feels right, we recommend the native rebuild instead.
Mobile app packages
How many screens does your app have?
Fixed prices by number of screens, paid once, whether we wrap or rebuild. Count the pages a user can open: login, home, settings, each detail view.
On top of the package, the stores charge their own fees: an Apple Developer Program membership ($99 a year) and a Google Play developer account (a one-time $25). We walk you through both.

Questions
Before you go mobile
Can Lovable build a mobile app on its own?
Not a native one. Lovable builds a React web app that runs in the browser. Lovable also has its own phone app, but that is for editing your projects on the go, not for publishing your app to the App Store or Google Play.
Do you wrap my Lovable app or rebuild it?
Both, at the same package price. Most Lovable apps get wrapped with Capacitor, with native features added (push notifications, offline handling, native sharing, Sign in with Apple), because Apple often rejects a bare website in a frame under Guideline 4.2 (minimum functionality). When people spend long sessions in the app, such as feeds, chat, maps or video, we rebuild the screens natively instead, so scrolling, keyboard and gestures feel right.
What happens to my backend and data?
They stay where they are. The mobile app talks to the same Supabase database, auth and edge functions as your web app, so your users can log in on both with the same account. Neither path moves any data.
My app is on Lovable Cloud. Is that a problem?
It works, but some settings a mobile app needs, such as extra OAuth redirect URLs and direct database access for debugging, are harder to reach on Lovable Cloud. If that gets in the way, we can move your backend to a Supabase project you own first.
Can I keep building the web app in Lovable?
Yes. With Capacitor the phone apps are built from the same code, so what you change in Lovable reaches iOS and Android with the next app build. With a native rebuild the mobile app is a separate codebase that shares the backend, so mobile changes happen in that code.
I already set up Capacitor myself. Can you take it from there?
Yes. Send us the repo and where it is stuck, for example code signing, a plugin that will not build, or a rejection from App Review. We keep your Capacitor project, fix it and take it through the stores.
Flutter or React Native?
For most Lovable apps we suggest React Native with Expo, because it is TypeScript and React like your Lovable code, so types, Supabase queries and business logic carry over. Flutter is a good choice when the app has a fully custom design and nothing to reuse.
Do I need my own developer accounts?
Yes. The app is published under your name, so you need an Apple Developer Program membership ($99 a year) and a Google Play developer account (a one-time $25 fee). We walk you through setting them up before the store submission.
What does it cost?
A one-time price based on the number of screens, the same whether we wrap or rebuild: $300 for up to 5 screens, $600 for up to 15 (adds custom transitions, API integration and push notifications), and $1,000 for 25 or more (adds complex state management, store submission support and analytics).
App on Lovable Cloud? Some mobile settings are easier on a Supabase project you own: see Cloud to Supabase.

in the stores?
Send us your Lovable project link and tell us which screens matter most. We tell you which path and package fit, and what the stores will ask for.
