A ready-to-use template for building mobile applications that work on iPhones, Android phones, and web browsers. Built with Expo and React Native, this template lets you create one app that reaches users everywhere.
Choose the mobile app template when you want to build an application that people can use on their phones:
- Mobile-first apps - Apps designed primarily for phone users, like fitness trackers, social networks, or productivity tools
- Cross-platform apps - One app that works on both iPhone and Android without building separate versions
- Apps that need to be in app stores - When you want to publish to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store
- Progressive web apps - Apps that can also work in web browsers for easy sharing and access
Consider the Web App Template first - If your project is primarily a website or dashboard that people access through a browser, the Web App template might be a better fit. The mobile app template is best when you specifically need app store distribution or mobile-native features like push notifications, camera access, or location services.
App store publishing - While this template prepares your app for app store submission, you'll need to handle the actual publishing process yourself. This includes creating developer accounts with Apple and Google, submitting your app for review, and managing updates. The AI agent can guide you through the technical steps, but the account setup and submission process is something you'll complete directly with the app stores.
One codebase, three platforms - Write your app once and it works on iPhones, Android phones, and web browsers. No need to learn different programming languages or maintain separate codebases.
App store ready - Everything is set up so you can publish your finished app to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The template handles the technical requirements so you can focus on building your app.
Modern development tools - Built with Expo, which provides a smooth development experience. You can see your changes instantly on your phone or in a web browser while you're building.
AI assistance - Describe what you want your app to do, and the Grail agent will help you build it step by step. No need to figure out complex mobile development setup on your own.
Pre-configured mobile setup - All the technical configuration is done for you. The template includes everything needed to build, test, and publish mobile apps.
Cross-platform components - Ready-to-use interface elements that look great and work smoothly on phones, tablets, and web browsers.
Development tools - Tools to preview your app on your phone in real-time, test on different screen sizes, and debug issues quickly.
Publishing guidance - The AI agent can help you understand the technical steps to prepare your app for app stores, including what information you'll need and how to build your app for submission. You'll handle the actual publishing process (creating developer accounts, submitting to stores, and managing reviews) yourself, but the template ensures your app is ready when you are.
Use this template when you want to build an app that people can download from app stores or use on their phones. The template removes the complexity of mobile development setup, so you can start building your app's features right away. Whether you're creating a simple utility app or a complex social platform, this template gives you a solid foundation to build on.
