You can now turn your Lovable app into a real native mobile app.

Not a PWA.

A legit App Store and Google Play app with native features.

Here's the exact workflow ↓

                            2
                        
1/ Why this matters

Lovable is insane for prototyping and building MVPs fast.

But getting it on the App Store? That used to mean hiring a dev or learning Swift.

Not anymore.

Despia wraps your Lovable project into a native app with one-click publishing.

                            3
                        
2/ What you need first

Before anything, set up your developer accounts:
• Apple Developer Program: $99/year
• Google Play Console: $25 one-time

Do this once. Use it forever.

Without these, you can't publish to the stores.

                            4
                        
3/ The core workflow

4/ Step 1: Publish your Lovable project and grab the URL
Step 2: Create a new project in Despia
Step 3: Paste your Lovable URL
Step 4: Connect your Apple/Google developer accounts

That's the setup. Takes 10 minutes.

                            5
                        
4/ Adding native features (this is the unlock)

Install the Despia npm package in Lovable:
npm install despia-native

Now you can add stuff you literally cannot do in a web app:
• In-app purchases
• Push notifications
• Haptic feedback
• Face ID / biometrics
• Home screen widgets
• Shortcuts

One line of code each.

                            6
                        
5/ What you can add with one line of code

• Haptic feedback (that satisfying vibration)
• In-app purchases via RevenueCat
• Push notifications via OneSignal
• Face ID / biometric login
• Home screen widgets
• Device tracking

Stuff you literally cannot do with a web app.

Despia makes it stupid simple.

                            7
                        
6/ Build and test

Once your app is ready:

• Click "Publish Project" in Despia
• Select iOS or Android (or both)
• Despia builds it on their servers
• Test via TestFlight (iOS) or Android beta

Test everything before going live. Fix bugs early.

                            8
                        
7/ Publish to the stores

When you're happy with testing:
• Click "Publish to App Store" or "Publish to Google Play"
• Despia handles the submission
• Wait for review (Apple: 24-48 hours, Google: faster)

And you're live. Real app. Real store listing.

                            9
                        
8/ The best part - instant updates

Here's what makes this workflow crazy:
Update your Lovable project → hit publish → changes go live everywhere.
App Store. Google Play. TestFlight. Android beta.

No resubmission. No waiting for review.
Despia has code push built in.

                            10
                        
9/ TLDR

• Publish Lovable project → get URL
• Create Despia project → paste URL
• Connect developer accounts
• Add native features with npm package
• Build and test via TestFlight / beta
• One-click publish to stores
• Update instantly without resubmission

This is how you ship mobile apps fast in 2025 and beyond.

Update: Despia just dropped MCP support for Lovable.

This means Lovable now natively understands how to implement Despia features, no more copy/pasting docs or fighting hallucinations.

One-shot native implementations.

Full breakdown coming soon. Stay tuned.
