Hey guys,

Do you know if it’s possible to publish on the app & play store on glide?

I recently saw a Glide user on YouTube demoing a progressive web app → app-wrapper called Nativator ([https://nativator.io/](https://nativator.io/))

Not sure how legit it is and the subscription-based pricing for it feels a bit forced. Maybe there are some other services like it out there, though.

Glide does not officially support publishing to App Store & Play Store.

Unfortunately, Glide apps are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) only, and publishing to the App Store or Google Play is not supported.

Hi Scott, yes I saw this too! The only thing that stopped me was Nativator seems to have an average rating of 3 stars across google.

A follow up for you @Rebecca_Jacob : For the Play store, I found another resource straight from Google about how to do this yourself without needing a middleperson.

For iOS it looks like there are a few GitHub repos floating around about this: [GitHub - khmyznikov/ios-pwa-wrap: Makes possible of publishing PWA to Apple Store like TWA from Google.](https://github.com/khmyznikov/ios-pwa-wrap)

It seems like Apple frowns on wrapping PWAs as apps (not to say you can’t do it and get away with it): [Publish your PWA to the iOS App Store | Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29040793)

I have seen many people in this forum talking about their app being taken down from the store after a while after they used that method.
