Creating Your First App

Last updated: May 22, 2026

This guide walks you through setting up a new app in Appilix from scratch. The process takes just a few minutes.

Step 1 — Enter your website address

The first thing Appilix needs is your website URL. This is the address that will load inside your mobile app.

Enter the full URL including https://, for example:

https://example.com
Make sure your website is live and publicly accessible. Appilix loads your website in real time, so a URL that requires a VPN or is behind a login gate will not work correctly during setup.

Step 2 — Set your app name

Enter the name you want to appear on the user's device — this is the label shown below your app icon on the home screen.

Keep it short and clear. Most devices display between 10 and 14 characters before truncating. If your brand name is long, consider a shortened version.

Step 3 — Upload your app logo

Your app logo is used as the app icon on the home screen and throughout the app stores.

Requirements:

  • Format: JPG, JPEG, or PNG

  • Recommended size: at least 512 × 512 pixels
  • Use a square image with no rounded corners — the operating system applies the shape automatically

Avoid using a transparent background on your logo if your brand color is white or very light, as it may become invisible against certain home screen backgrounds.

Step 4 — Set your package name (Android) or bundle ID (iOS)

This is a unique identifier for your app used by the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Format: Reverse domain notation, for example:

com.yourcompany.yourapp

Rules:

  • Lowercase letters, numbers, and dots only

  • Must start with a letter
  • Each segment separated by a dot must start with a letter

Once your app is published on the Play Store or App Store, this identifier cannot be changed. Choose it carefully and make sure it reflects your brand.

Save and continue

Once all four fields are filled in, save your changes. Your app is now created and you can begin configuring modules — push notifications, navigation, splash screen, and more — from the dashboard.

The next step most users take is setting up the Splash Screen and Style Customization to match their brand, followed by Push Notifications if they want to engage users right away.
