Short answer. Deploy your Bubble app to Live, copy the live address (your custom domain, or your-app.bubbleapps.io), and paste it into the free APK builder. You get the APK and the AAB for Google Play, both free.
Bubble runs everything on its own servers: pages, workflows, the database and user accounts. The app shows your live Bubble pages.
Two ways to build it
| Route | Best for | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Wrap the live version | Every Bubble app | Bubble renders the pages, so the app loads them live. Deploying to Live updates every installed copy. |
Step by step
Make every page responsive
In Bubble's responsive editor, check each page at phone width (around 360 to 400 pixels). A page designed only for desktop will need horizontal scrolling in the app.
Use the live address, not version-test
The
/version-testaddress is your development copy. Build from the live version, ideally on a custom domain.Build the app
Paste the live address into the APK builder. You get the APK and the Play Store AAB, both free.
What works inside the app
- Bubble logins, including social sign-in with Google, which opens inside the app.
- Workflows, the database and API connector calls, all running on Bubble.
- File and image uploaders through the phone's picker.
What to check first
Page load time
Heavy Bubble pages feel slower in an app than on a laptop. Fewer elements on the first page and lazy-loaded repeating groups help more than anything done on the app side.
Bubble's own mobile editor
Bubble also offers a separate native mobile editor. Wrapping is for keeping the web app you already have as the one product you maintain.
Payments
Stripe is fine for physical goods and services. Digital subscriptions sold inside a Play app need Play Billing: in-app purchases.
Publishing your Bubble app on Google Play
Google Play takes an AAB (Android App Bundle), not an APK. The builder gives you the AAB free with every build, signed with a key that stays the same for the same package name, so keep that package name for every update and raise the version number each time. Before you submit, go through the Play Store checklist: a privacy policy, screenshots, the data-safety form and, for a new personal developer account, the closed test with testers.
If Play reports that the signing key does not match, read fixing the upload key error.
Questions
Does my Bubble plan matter?
You need a plan that lets you deploy to Live. A custom domain is strongly recommended, so the app never depends on the bubbleapps.io address.
Will users stay logged in?
Yes. The app keeps cookies and storage between launches like a browser does.
Is it free?
Building the APK is free and needs no signup.
