Everything I’ve read about sign in makes no sense to me. I started my app without a sign-in screen so maybe that’s where I went wrong
There are several options for user authentication, and which one is best depends on your specific use case.
How would you want it to behave?
If you can describe your use case, we can probably point you in the right direction.

What I’d like to do is sell my app as per Google Play Store but can’t figure out a way to do this with Glide.
Also I don’t understand where App: Logins and App: Purchases reside and if they get created automatically
Thanks for you time
App logins & purchases are created automatically in google sheets
This information is in the documentation, so worth reading 
https://docs.glideapps.com/all/
You don’t publish glide apps to google play. You publish the app and share the url.

Thanks but I have read the documentation and it is completely mystifying. Also how and when is App: Logins created. Are these App: sheets used for all the Glide Plans. Yes, I understand how to publish apps but there seems no simple way of “selling” the app as per Play Store
I really liked Gilde up to this point but these items just seem to have been tacked on to Glide as an after-thought
Thanks for your reply

Glide’s focus is web based PWA apps. Some users have been using third party tools to publish to an app store, but I can’t vouch for their success rate. There is currently no native ability to publish to an app store through glide. Apps are shared via the published url.
The App: sheets are auto generated and serve no real purpose other than to provide you with a log of sign ins, sales, chat, and comments. Those sheets are not visible to the glide app and not used in any way by the glide app. However, if you need the data to be visible in glide, you can duplicate the sheets using various sheet formulas.
If you are looking for different options for how to handle signing into an app, you can view that information here.

Hi Jeff - Do you know if native app publication might be coming for Glide al la Adalo and other similar products?
I don’t know what Glide’s roadmap looks like, so I can’t say. I’d say probably not anytime soon. They’ve tried in the past and I think it was too much overhead and complexity to make it feasible.
