What do I need in addition to BDK Native

You need these accounts for your app

Google play developer account. Google charges $25 one-time for a developer account.

New personal account? Google first asks you to run a closed test with at least 12 testers opted in for 14 days in a row, then apply for production access. This applies to personal accounts created after 13 Nov 2023
Organization accounts skip the testers, but Google verifies the organization (often with a D-U-N-S number)
These are Google's rules and they can change, so check your Play Console

If you have a legal entity / company, we recommend you get an organization enrollment type of account. Apple asks organizations for a D-U-N-S number. It's free but can take a while, so start early
For individual type accounts, we need to coordinate with you for additional 5 minutes over chat

Firebase account (free)
Onesignal account (free)
An Apple push key for iOS, which you create in your Apple developer account. Our guide shows you how

Your app never sends notifications? Switch push off in Build Settings and you won't need any of these. Switching it off or back on later takes a rebuild

Why do I need all these accounts? Can't you use your accounts?

So that you can list your apps on the app store and play store
You control the ownership and everything associated with your app listing
We don't publish your apps in our accounts. It keeps us safer and you the owner our your app
If you ever decide to stop using bubble and/or bdk native for a different platform / service provider, you can do it instantaneously

What do I do with all these accounts?

Once you purchase the bdk native service, you will receive step-by-step guide of what to do with each account, including recorded videos
These are pretty basic 1-2 minute tasks of creating a new app listing on each
The details from these listings are provided by you in our project page when requesting us to build your app
Apple's and Google's own account checks (like D-U-N-S, or Google's testing step for new personal accounts) can take a while, so start those early
