Base44 to App Store & Google Play: What Actually Works (2026)

Your Base44 app is live at yourapp.base44.app — auth works, the data model holds up, people use it in a browser. Now you want it on phones, and you've typed some version of “base44 to app store”into Google. Here is the honest map, including the part where Base44's own tooling is the right answer.

What Base44 itself now offers

Base44's store-submission documentation describes a Mobile app tab for readiness checks and generating IPA/AAB files. Its Builder plan or higher is required to download them. The same documentation lists native push and full offline mode as limitations. Check the current instructions against the app editor before selecting a route.

If that workflow meets your requirements, you may not need another wrapper service. Compare the actual output and supported integrations, not just whether each service can produce a file with the right extension.

The wrapper route with push, from just your URL

Our route takes the same input — your published .base44.app URL or custom domain — and builds a platform-specific wrapper. No export, no GitHub, no Base44 login shared with us. The differences that matter:

• Android OneSignal integration. Configure the provider and app identity, request permission appropriately, and test real delivery. Enabling a setting is not the same as verifying push works.
• Check the shell and the product separately. Test launch, navigation and network loss on the target platform. Those checks do not guarantee Apple's minimum-functionality approval.
• Android is free to try. Your first build costs nothing and produces a signed Preview APK with the Code2Native mark on its bottom strip. Release APK/AAB delivery requires a paid offer.
• Windows exists here. The same URL can come back as a Windows installer (Electron-based .exe) with eligible App or Pro access. Check pricing and distribution/signing requirements separately.

Because your Base44 app keeps living at its URL, the same property their docs advertise holds on our wrapper too: publish a change in Base44 and the wrapper loads the updated content subject to caching. Native-shell changes require a rebuild, and store policies still apply.

What no vendor can remove

Three requirements survive every route, and any page that hides them is lying to you:

• The developer accounts are yours.Apple's program is $99/year; Google Play's registration is a one-time $25. Base44's docs say it plainly — you set up and pay for both, and submissions happen in your dashboards. Same here.
• IPA builds are unsigned by default. Optional cloud signing requires active Pro and a compatible .p12 certificate/private key plus provisioning profile. App or Builder IPA access does not include that signing feature. Check the export method and iOS requirements.
• Store review risk is real on every platform. A compiled file or signature does not establish store approval. Platform/ network build faults refund credits actually charged; customer compile errors do not. Store rejection is not a platform build failure.

Which route fits you

Try it with your Base44 URL

Paste your published URL into the wizard and choose Android for one marked Preview APK. Test login, navigation and the main user task on a real device. See current pricing for paid release files, other platforms and source builds. Build logs and Billing records show the result and any actual credit refund.
