Frequently asked questions

Getting started

What you need and what happens after you publish.

Do I need a developer account?
Yes — an Apple Developer Program membership ($99/year) for iOS and a Google Play developer account ($25 once). They have to be yours: Apple requires apps built by a service like this to be submitted from the content owner’s account. It also means you own the listings, the reviews and the download numbers outright.
How long does it take?
Configuring the app takes about fifteen minutes. Builds finish in five to ten. After that you are waiting on the stores: Google Play usually reviews in a day or two, Apple typically within 24–48 hours.
What happens when I update my website?
Nothing to do. The app loads your live site, so content and design changes appear immediately without a new build or a store review. You only rebuild when you change the app itself — its icon, its native features, or its navigation.
Will it work with my platform?
If it is a website, yes — WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, or something you built yourself. What matters is that it works on a phone. Apps Made With AI checks that first and tells you what to fix if it does not.

App Store review

The part everyone worries about, answered honestly.

Will Apple actually approve it?
We cannot promise an approval; nobody honestly can, because review is a human decision. What we can do is remove the reasons for rejection we know about. The app ships with the native functionality Guideline 4.2 asks for, it is submitted from your own account as 4.2.6 requires, and the wizard blocks a build when something we know Apple rejects is still unfixed.
What if my app gets rejected anyway?
Send us the rejection message. Rebuilds are unlimited on Pro, every configuration is versioned so we can see exactly what changed between submissions, and if the cause is something Apps Made With AI should have caught we fix it in the platform for everyone.
Is this just a web view in a wrapper?
It is a real native project — an Xcode project and an Android Gradle project — that renders your site inside it. The difference is what surrounds the web view: native tab bars, a native offline screen, push notifications, deep links and device access. That surrounding layer is precisely what App Review looks for, and it is why a plain wrapper fails where this does not.

Technical

Hosting, source code, native APIs and how your keys are handled.

Can my website use the native features?
Yes. Drop one script tag on your site and it gains a small JavaScript API: request push permission, read the push token, open the share sheet, take a photo, trigger haptics, unlock with biometrics. It no-ops safely in a normal browser, so the same code runs on the web and in the app.
Do you host my site?
No. Your site stays exactly where it is. The app points at your live domain, which is why content updates need no rebuild — and why we never become a dependency of your website.
Can I get the source code?
Yes, on Pro. You can download the complete Xcode and Android Studio projects at any time. There is no lock-in: if you outgrow Apps Made With AI, you keep the app and build it yourself.
How do you handle my signing keys?
Encrypted with a key that is unique to your organisation, bound to your account so a stolen record cannot be replayed elsewhere, and never written to logs. We also make your Android upload keystore downloadable and tell you loudly to back it up — lose that file and no one, including Google, can ever update your app again.

Billing

What you pay for and what happens if you stop.

What counts as an app?
One website, published to both stores. An iOS and Android pair built from the same site is a single app on your bill, not two.
Why a subscription and not a one-off fee?
Because a published app is not a finished thing. Apple and Google change their requirements every year, each change needs a rebuild and a resubmission, and push notifications need infrastructure that runs continuously. A one-time fee would price a product that stops working in eighteen months.
What happens if I cancel?
Your app stays on the stores — it is in your developer account and it belongs to you. You lose the ability to rebuild, send push notifications through us, and use the dashboard. Export your source and keystore first and you can carry on independently.

Still unsure whether your site is a good fit? Send us the address and we will tell you honestly — including if the answer is no.
