Mobile (native) app development in v0

From the SMEs etc in community, has anyone used v0 to create ios/Android mobile native apps? I’ve seen

I’d like to use v0 almost entirely to develop my app and then be able to use something like Cordova or Ionic to simply wrap it and build an .APK and .IPA file receptively for Android and iOS.

Just curious if anyone has an efficient workflow. Right now, I’m using Ionic Appflow and Github but it didn’t really like the code I pushed from v0 to Git.

Did you know about these other v0 resources? A human should be here soon to help, but the answer may already be available even faster in one of these other posts.

This guide is a great place to start.

Hi @jayhilwig, nice discussion you bring up here. I’ve not seen any examples for this in the community. I’m not sure if v0 has the support for native apps right now.

I think React Native is a good bet because it is React and has some projects for web, desktop and native support.

A good write up here as well: From Web to Native with React

Great article, thanks @anshumanb, and I should reiterate I’m a designer masquerading as a dev :slight_smile: Based on my research, React Native is ideal for mobile apps just as you suggest. v0 does not support (preview) React Native, right? I’m using Chatgpt + Expo.dev right now for a cross platform native mobile app I’m building but would prefer to use v0.
Curious what Vercel product team thinks?

You can do mobile via webviews pretty well, just using the “save to homepage” feature on iOS (similar on android) during development and eventually packaging for the app store with Ionic Capacitor or cordova/phonegap.

But there’s currently no React Native support in v0, via expo or otherwise. This is something I’d really like to see

I would also love to see more options to build native mobile applications. I think this would leverage v0 to a totally new level!
