This playbook guides you through converting your Lovable-generated web application into a native iOS app and submitting it to the App Store. We use Capacitor as the bridge between web and native, which provides the most seamless transition while retaining full access to native iOS features. Many developers assume that turning a web app into a native iOS app is a complex, week-long process. In reality, with the right tools and clear steps, you can go from Lovable export to App Store submission in a single afternoon. This playbook documents exactly how we do it.
