    Can I use this for a non-WordPress site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. The Website URL can point to any HTTPS (or HTTP) site. Each app is a WebView wrapper.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Do WordPress forms work in the apps?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. The apps are WebView shells \u2014 forms and plugins behave like Chrome on Android or Safari on iPhone. See the How to \/ Client instructions tab.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is WordPress.org listing free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. Listing a plugin on WordPress.org is free. Google Play and Apple still charge their own developer program fees.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I publish to Google Play?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Create a Play Console developer account, create an app, complete the store listing, then upload a signed AAB built in Android Studio. Full steps are under Settings \u2192 Mobile Apps \u2192 How to \/ Client instructions.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I publish to the App Store?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    You need an Apple ID and Apple Developer Program membership. Open the iOS ZIP in Xcode, set your Team, Archive, upload to App Store Connect, then submit for review.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does this include push notifications?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Not in this free plugin. Push notifications are available as separate Pro add-ons from manofweb.com for Android and iOS. After installing Pro, configure Firebase \/ APNs, then regenerate the matching platform ZIP.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
