App Settings
Overview
The App Settings page is used to configure the mobile application details for Android and iOS. This section is mainly used when you want to generate and publish a branded mobile app for your platform.
The platform mobile app is built using Capacitor, which allows the web application to run inside native Android and iOS apps while still supporting native mobile features.
From this page, you can manage the basic mobile app identity, including the app name, app version, package identifiers, brand colors, app store links, icons, splash screen, and platform-specific configuration files.
These settings help prepare the mobile app for building, testing, and publishing.
Android and iOS App Setup
To generate mobile apps, you need to create Android and iOS app entries in Firebase. Firebase provides configuration files that connect your mobile app with services such as notifications and authentication.
For Android, Firebase provides a google-services.json file.
For iOS, Firebase provides a GoogleService-Info.plist file.
These files must be uploaded in the App Settings page so the generated app can communicate correctly with Firebase services.
App Identity
The app name, version, Android package ID, and iOS bundle ID define how your application is identified on mobile devices and app stores.
These values should be planned carefully because package IDs and bundle IDs are important when publishing to the Play Store or App Store.
Branding
You can upload the app icon and splash screen to customize how the app appears when installed and opened by users. Brand colors can also be configured so the mobile app matches your platform identity.
Store Links
The App Store URL and Play Store URL can be added once your apps are published. These links can be used inside the platform wherever users need to download or access the mobile apps.
Android Signing
Android signing is usually not required during basic configuration if you are publishing through the Play Store using the default Play App Signing flow. Google Play can manage the final app signing process.
If you are using custom signing or advanced Play Store workflows, Android signing settings may be handled separately during the build or publishing process.
iOS Build Requirement
For iOS, the app must be built using Apple’s required build and signing process. You may need an Apple Developer account, proper iOS certificates, provisioning profiles, and the required bundle configuration before publishing to the App Store.
Why Capacitor Is Used
Capacitor is used to convert the platform into a native mobile app experience while still keeping the main application logic connected to the web platform.
This approach allows the app to support native mobile capabilities while reducing the need to maintain completely separate Android and iOS codebases.
Summary
The App Settings page prepares your platform for mobile app generation. By configuring Firebase app files, app identity, branding, store links, and platform-specific settings, you can build Android and iOS apps for your white-label platform.Last modified on April 24, 2026
