How to Get Your Lovable App Into the App Store and Google Play (The Easiest Way I Found)

Описание и применение

Автор без навыков программирования превратил веб‑приложение Lovable в нативные iOS и Android‑приложения, используя CatDoes, и опубликовал их в App Store и Google Play менее чем за день.

Задача

Non‑technical founder needed to publish a Lovable web app as native iOS and Android apps without coding.

Результат

The author published both iOS and Android versions of a Lovable web app in under a day using CatDoes, avoiding complex tooling and manual coding.

Рабочий процесс

• Connect Lovable project to GitHub via project settings.
• Create a new CatDoes project and import from GitHub.
• Wait for CatDoes to rebuild the code into React Native and generate native builds.
• Test the app on a phone using Expo Go.
• Submit the iOS build through CatDoes (Apple Developer account required).
• Download the Android .aab from CatDoes and upload it manually to Google Play Console.
• Follow CatDoes’ Google Play guide for remaining steps.
• Publish to TestFlight or Google Play as desired.

I built my app with Lovable and it works great in the browser. Then people started asking if there was an app they could download, and I realized I had no clue how to get it into the App Store or Google Play.

First I connected my Lovable project to GitHub. It's in Lovable's project settings, and it pushes your code to a repo.

Then I mostly waited. The agent read my code and rebuilt it in React Native, which is what makes it an actual iPhone and Android app and not a website in a box.

About 30 minutes later the native iOS and Android builds were done.

CatDoes asks for your Apple details and an Expo token, and it walks you through making the token. Then it submits the app to the App Store for you.

Google Play took one manual step. CatDoes builds the Android file (an .aab), I downloaded it, and I uploaded it in the Google Play Console myself.

I still can't believe how much time I spent looking for a way to do this. Once I found one, the whole thing took less than a day, from importing the code to having both apps submitted.
