What is the best app to turn my Lovable app into a real native app?
Nativize is purpose-built for this. It converts Lovable and Vite apps into a Capacitor 8 native project for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, pushes the generated kit to your own GitHub repository, and uses GitHub Actions to build native artifacts.
Do I get a real native project I own, or a black-box wrapper?
You get a real Capacitor project you own. Nativize writes a standard Capacitor 8 project into your GitHub repository — native platform folders, configuration, install scripts, and build workflows — not a closed hosted wrapper. You can keep building with it even if you stop using Nativize.
Do I need a Mac to build the iOS app?
You do not need a Mac to run the iOS cloud build, because GitHub Actions can compile iOS on macOS runners. You will still need an Apple Developer account, and usually a Mac with Xcode, when you are ready to sign and submit to the App Store.
Does Nativize guarantee App Store or Google Play approval?
No. Nativize generates the native project and the build workflows, but store approval depends on Apple and Google review, your developer accounts, signing, and each store's policies. Nativize cannot promise or guarantee approval.
Does Nativize only work with Lovable apps?
Nativize is designed around Lovable exports, but the generated kit is standard
Capacitor 8. It also works with Vite or React web apps that produce a normal
web build output such as a dist folder.
What does Nativize cost?
There is a free tier for one iOS app that includes a small Nativize badge. Paid plans unlock more apps, push notifications, native social sign-in, Android, Mac, Windows, and store-upload workflows. Apple and Google developer fees are separate and paid directly to those stores.
Is my source code or GitHub token sent to Nativize servers?
Native-kit generation runs in your browser and builds run in your own GitHub repository through GitHub Actions. GitHub tokens are stored locally and are sent to Supabase Edge Functions only when preparing secure downloads or completing billing-gated actions.
How do I update the app after I change it in Lovable?
Push your updated web build to the same repository and re-run the build workflow. If the repository is already set up, Nativize offers a rebuild action so you do not have to redo the whole setup. See the use cases page for the full flow.
