Turn a website to App

This tutorial will guide you how to turn a website into a free or a dedicated App for Android and iOS.

Our App Maker is the main tool of our service. This form gives you the ability to turn any website into your own dedicated and branded App, with Firebase and Admob capabilities, for Android and iOS devices and platforms - fast and easily!

You can create a new App or edit (add / remove features) from an existing App by editing the App with the App Maker.

Set the general details of your App

Add the URL of the website you wish to turn into a mobile App.

You can use the Simulator in order to see the estimated results of your App in the Mobile devices, Tablets, Desktop PCs and TV devices.
Set the App details:
- Give your App a name.
- Set the Major Version and the Minor Version of your App.
- Describe the App.
- Set your company / organization name.
- Set the package name.

The package name should be a unique name to identify a specific App. e.g. com.yourcompany.appname

The App Maker will create the package name automatically from the App Name field and the Company Name field.

Please Note: If your App uses the Firebase services, please make sure that the package name of the Firebase App and the package name of your App are the same. If you will not set the Firebase Package name as the Package name of your App, the App Maker will change the Package name of your App to the Package name of the Firebase App automatically.

Set the icon of your App.

Only 512x512, 256x256, 128x128 64x64 PNG icon files are allowed.

The more high resolution of the icon, the quality of the icons of the App will be better.

Set the Certification / Ownership of your App (Optional).

A public-key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or an identity certificate, contains the public key of a public/private key pair, as well as some other metadata identifying the owner of the your App (for example, name and location).

The Auto-Fill button will fill the relevant fields for you.

The system will use the Auto-Fill functionlity when your are creating a new App so you do not have to deal with these fields, but if you want to set your own details, you can fill those fields as you wish.

You can set the defaults values of those fields in the Settings->Defaults, so each time you are creating a new App those fields will filled up automatically.

Set the extra features and build your App

There are two types of modes that can be used in order to create an App - FREE App or Dedicated App.

FREE App (share mode)

You can turn any website into an Android App for free under share mode. This operation will make a release APK file with our AdMob banner and a package name ‘com.webintoapp.[appkey]’. You can release the FREE App with your friends and customers, also, you can publish your app to the Google Play store and any other APK app store.

Dedicated App

The Dedicated App mode allows you to create your own dedicated and branded App for Android (Debug APK + Release APK + Ownership & Certification + Source Code) and iOS (Source Code) devices, under release mode and without our AdMob banner. This mode will create your own App and you can use it for commercial purposes, share it with your customers, publish it to the Google Play / Apple App store and any other APK/App stores under your own package and company name. You can add features to your App as you wish and pay for the features you uses only.

Here are the guides of using the Firebase, add AdMob banner and using the source code of your App.
