Understand what Wrapply generates and how to use your app files

With Wrapply you can turn any website, PWA, no-code project or AI-generated web app into a Flutter-based mobile app. Use the online tool to customize AppBar, BottomNavigationBar and FloatingActionButton options, then receive signed APK and AAB files by email. You can also get the complete Flutter source code, build iOS apps from the source, or request our managed conversion and store publishing service.

What Wrapply generates for you

Wrapply starts from your website URL and creates ready-to-use mobile app files. The online builder can generate signed Android APK files, Google Play-ready AAB files and complete Flutter source code. Basic customization is available directly online, while deeper changes can be made from the Flutter source code or requested through Wrapply managed services.

1

Signed APK

An installable Android app file, useful for testing, sharing and installing the app directly on Android devices.

2

Signed AAB

A Google Play-ready Android App Bundle generated for store submission and production distribution.

3

Flutter source code

The complete Flutter project, so you can customize the app, integrate services and rebuild it independently.

4

iOS IPA on request

iOS builds are handled manually because Apple publishing requires certificates, provisioning profiles and account setup.

APK, AAB, IPA and Flutter source code explained

Wrapply can generate different output files depending on what you need: direct installation, store publishing, source code ownership or iOS distribution.

APK file
A signed Android package that can be installed directly on Android devices. It is useful for testing, demos, internal sharing and quick validation.
AAB file
An Android App Bundle used for Google Play publishing. It is the preferred format for uploading production Android apps to the Play Console.
IPA file
An iOS app archive used for Apple distribution workflows. Wrapply can prepare IPA builds manually because iOS requires Apple certificates, provisioning profiles and account configuration.
Flutter source code
The complete generated Flutter project. This is the best option if you want ownership, customization, integrations, rebuilds and long-term control.

How to use the generated Flutter source code

When you receive the Flutter source code, you get a real project that can be opened, edited and rebuilt with standard Flutter tools. This gives you full control over your app after the initial Wrapply generation.

Open the project in VS Code
Extract the ZIP file, open the project folder in Visual Studio Code and install the Flutter and Dart extensions.
Install dependencies
Run flutter pub get to download the packages required by the generated project.
Customize app configuration
Update app name, package name, icon, navigation labels, URLs, colors and mobile behavior from the project files.
Build new versions
Use Flutter commands to rebuild APK, AAB or iOS builds after your modifications.
Basic commands:
flutter pub get
flutter run
flutter build apk --release
flutter build appbundle --release
flutter build ipa --release

Common things you can customize

The Flutter source code lets you modify the generated mobile experience and adapt the app to your brand, product and publishing requirements.

App name
Change the visible name shown on the device and in the app metadata.
Package name / Bundle ID
Update the Android package name or iOS bundle identifier before publishing.
App icon and splash screen
Replace default assets with your own brand icon and launch experience.
Navigation and UI
Customize AppBar, BottomNavigationBar, FloatingActionButton actions and internal routes.
Firebase integrations
Add Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Analytics, Cloud Messaging or other services.
External links and permissions
Configure how links, payments, downloads, maps, emails and external apps are handled.

Frequently asked questions

Are APK and AAB files signed?

Yes. Wrapply can generate signed Android builds. APK files are useful for installation and testing, while AAB files are prepared for Google Play publishing.

Why is the iOS IPA handled manually?

iOS builds require Apple certificates, provisioning profiles and Apple Developer account configuration. For this reason, Wrapply handles IPA generation and iOS publishing as a managed or assisted process.

Can I modify the generated Flutter code?

Yes. If you choose the Flutter source code package, you receive the complete project and can modify UI, navigation, integrations and build settings.

Can Wrapply publish the app for me?

Yes. Wrapply offers managed publishing support for clients who want help preparing and submitting their apps to Google Play or the App Store.

Can I use Wrapply with Lovable, Bolt or other AI builders?

Yes. If your AI builder generates a working website or web app URL, you can use Wrapply to convert it into a Flutter-based mobile app, customize the mobile layout online and optionally receive the complete Flutter source code.

Ready to convert your website into an app?

Start with your website URL, generate your first mobile app package, and decide whether you want an APK, AAB, full Flutter source code, iOS IPA support or managed publishing.
