WebToAppMaker

Getting Started

Previewing Your App

Use inline configuration previews, an online APK emulator, and a real Android device for progressively more accurate testing.

Before you start

  • Saved app configuration
  • An active build license before generating an APK

Configure and verify

  1. Review inline previews

    Open each relevant configuration page and use Show Preview to check colors, labels, navigation, and layout before building.

  2. Build and download the APK

    Open Build & Download, create a build, and download the completed APK. The AAB is intended for Google Play and cannot be installed directly.

  3. Test with an online emulator

    Create an account at Appetize.io and upload the downloaded APK to test the app through its browser-based Android emulator.

  4. Test on a physical device

    Install a fresh APK on an Android phone and retest permissions, downloads, deep links, authentication, notifications, media, and back-button behavior.

  5. Recognize emulator limits

    Camera, biometrics, push delivery, Play Billing, and hardware-dependent behavior may require a physical device even when the APK works in an online emulator.

Administrator preview workspace

The full Mock and Flutter Web preview route, generation controls, and worker progress are reserved for WebToAppMaker platform administrators.

Admin emulator

Run on Emulator, worker diagnostics, and stream controls are admin-only. Live scrcpy/MediaMTX streaming can fall back to HTTP screenshots.

Test before release

  • Saved settings match the preview
  • Both themes were checked
  • Navigation does not cover website controls
  • A final APK was tested on a physical device
