Why an app for your Budibase app?

From browser tab to home screen.

Budibase projects are often field-facing: inspection forms, asset trackers, request portals and approval apps used by staff away from their desks. Those are exactly the cases where a phone app with a home screen icon, persistent login and push notifications beats a browser bookmark. Since a Budibase app is already published on a URL you control, a native WebView wrapper adds the app experience without rebuilding anything.

Your app behaves like a full-screen browser for your Budibase app: every change you publish on Budibase is live in the app immediately – no app update required. Native features such as push notifications, an offline screen, native dialogs and smart link handling are added on top.

See all features

Home screen presence

A real app icon on iPhone and Android devices, installed from the App Store and Google Play.

Push notifications

Re-engage users with OneSignal push messages – or trigger local notifications from your own JavaScript.

Offline screen

Instead of browser errors, users see a branded offline screen with a "Try again" button.

Monetization

AdMob banners and interstitials, in-app purchases and native sharing dialogs are supported.

How it works for Budibase

Three steps to your Budibase app.

1

Publish your Budibase app

Make sure your app is live on a public URL (ideally your own domain) and looks good on a phone screen – that URL is what we wrap.

2

Order in a few minutes

Tell us your URL, app name and icon in the order wizard, pick the native features you need and pay securely with Stripe.

3

Receive your apps within 72 hours

We configure the WebViewGold template for your project, optimize it and deliver the full Xcode & Android Studio source code plus store-ready builds.

Preparation checklist

Prepare your Budibase app for the app stores.

A few platform-specific tips from our App Specialists for the best result:

  • Publish the app and serve it from a stable HTTPS URL on your own domain, whether on Budibase Cloud or your self-hosted instance.
  • Use mobile-friendly screens: stacked forms, card lists and large buttons, and test them in a real phone browser.
  • Choose an authentication method that completes on your domain; Budibase built-in accounts and SAML or OIDC via your provider work well.
  • Decide whether the app is public or internal, as this determines whether a public store listing or private distribution is right.
  • Not sure about a setting? Leave it to us – everything can be changed later in the source code, and our support is happy to advise.

Built on WebViewGold. Every Budibase app we deliver is based on WebViewGold, the WebView app template for iOS & Android developed by our own team – battle-tested in the stores and continuously updated for the latest iOS and Android versions. Prefer to do it yourself? Get the template directly on webviewgold.com.

FAQ

Budibase to app: frequently asked questions

Budibase apps can be installed as PWAs. Why a native app?

A PWA helps with home-screen installs but gives no App Store or Google Play listing, limited push on iOS and no native source code. A WebView app adds store distribution, OneSignal push on both platforms and native extras such as an offline screen and AdMob if wanted.

Does login work inside the native app?

Yes. Budibase user accounts and SSO providers that redirect back to your domain work inside the WebView, and sessions persist. If you use Google sign-in, it requires a specific configuration because Google blocks plain embedded web views, so mention it when ordering.

How do app users get updates?

Publish the app in Budibase and the native apps load the new version immediately, because they always open your live URL. Store resubmission is only necessary for native changes such as a new icon, name or push configuration.

How much does it cost and how do I pay?

Converting one platform (iOS or Android) is a one-time fee of $698; the iOS + Android bundle costs $1,158 (you save $238). The optional App Publishing Service is $318 per platform. Payment is handled securely by Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Prices exclude VAT.

What exactly do I receive?

The complete Xcode project (iOS) and/or Android Studio project including signed APK/AAB files and keystore (Android), plus a step-by-step quick start guide for the App Store and Google Play submission. The apps are built on the WebViewGold template, so you keep the full, editable source code.

What if Apple or Google rejects the app?

Store approval depends on the content of your app, and most WebView apps based on a responsive, app-like website pass review. If Apple or Google rejects your app for non-content reasons, we offer a full refund of the setup fee when you claim it within 14 days after purchase – see our Terms and Conditions.
