AI App Builder to Android App: The Route for Each Builder
Want to see your own site as an app? Paste its address: the free preview shows it in a phone frame. No account needed.
Most AI app builders publish a web app at a URL, not an Android app. For those, the route is the same whichever builder made it: settle the address, then wrap it into a signed APK and AAB. A few builders export code instead, and that code needs a build. Find yours below; each guide covers what is specific to that builder.
Find your builder
| Builder | What you have | Route to Android | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lovable | A web app at a lovable.app address or your own domain | Wrap the URL | Lovable app to APK |
| Bolt.new | A web app you publish to a URL, or an Expo mobile project | Wrap the URL; an Expo project builds with EAS | Bolt.new to Android |
| Replit | A web app deployed at a replit.app address, or an Expo mobile app | Wrap the URL; Replit builds an Expo app for the App Store itself | Replit app to APK |
| Base44 | A web app, with a store workflow Base44 documents itself | Compare both | Base44 to the app stores |
| Emergent | A web app at a permanent URL, or an Expo mobile project | Wrap the URL; an Expo project builds with EAS | Emergent app to APK |
| Google AI Studio | A web app deployed to Cloud Run, or a native Android (Kotlin) project | Wrap the URL; a Kotlin project is a source build | Deploy it safely, AI Studio app to APK |
| Figma Make | A web app at a figma.site address or your own domain | Wrap the URL | Figma Make to Android |
| Hostinger Horizons (now Hostinger AI Builder) | A web app at a live URL | Wrap the URL | Horizons to Android |
| Firebase Studio | A web prototype or a Flutter project in a workspace; the service shuts down on March 22, 2027 | Move a web app to a URL first; a Flutter project is a source build | Firebase Studio to APK |
| ChatGPT, Claude | Code, or a page you can share | Put it on a URL, then wrap it | ChatGPT app on your phone, Claude artifact to Android |
| FlutterFlow | A Flutter project from Download Code | Compare both: FlutterFlow's own store deployment, or a source build | FlutterFlow export to APK |
| Glide, Softr | A web app or portal at a URL | Wrap the URL | Glide app to APK, Softr to app |
The two routes
- Wrap the URL. For a web app at an address you control. Check it in the free preview, then buy the App license for that app ($69): Release APK and AAB for this website, without the Code2Native watermark. One-time payment. The license binds the website's address and the package name, so settle both first, using the address the site ends up on after any redirect. The steps are in URL to APK.
- Build the source. For a Flutter or native Android project. Builder ($39/month) or Pro compiles it; check that your project is supported before you buy. React Native, Expo, Capacitor and Ionic aren't compiled here; a ZIP or GitHub repository of one is refused before a build credit is spent.
Before you buy
- For Google Play, create the app as a Google Play app with the package name you will keep, and upload your own keystore while you create it: the signing key is fixed from its first build on. Buy the App license for that app, not on a free Preview of the same site, which is a separate app signed with our shared key.
- Publish the app where everyone can open it, without a password or a builder sign-in in front of it.
- Make sure it works at phone width: the app shows what a phone's browser shows.
- Build the free Preview APK and test sign-in on a phone. Email and password on your own page works inside the app; social sign-in through Supabase, such as Google, opens the phone's browser and leaves the person signed out of the app.
See your website as an app
The preview loads your live site in a phone frame. When it looks right, open an account and build it. Build one Preview APK with a Code2Native watermark. No card required.
Frequently asked questions
Do AI app builders make Android apps?
Most publish a web app at a URL instead: Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Figma Make and Hostinger among them. A web app becomes an Android app by wrapping its URL into a signed APK and AAB. Some also make native projects that need a build: FlutterFlow exports a Flutter project, Google AI Studio can make a native Android (Kotlin) project, and Bolt, Replit and Emergent can make Expo projects, which build with Expo's tools.
Which route does my app need?
If the app opens in a browser at an address you control, wrap the URL: preview it free, then an App license gives you a release APK and AAB for that website. If you have a Flutter or native Android project, a source build compiles it on Builder or Pro.
Can Code2Native build React Native or Expo projects?
No. Source builds compile Flutter and native Android projects; Code2Native doesn't compile React Native, Expo, Capacitor or Ionic projects. One uploaded as a ZIP or linked from GitHub is refused before a build credit is spent, but source builds need Builder or Pro first, so check before you subscribe. If the app also runs as a website, build it from its URL instead.
Does sign-in keep working inside the app?
Email and password on your own page works. Social sign-in through Supabase, such as Google, first goes to your Supabase project's own address: in the Android app that opens the phone's browser, and the session stays in the browser, so the person is not signed in to the app; in an iPhone build it stays inside the app, where Google refuses sign-in. Test every sign-in method in the free Preview APK on a phone before you buy.
