Understanding the Dashboard
Once your app is created, the Appilix dashboard is where you configure everything — from how your app looks to which features are enabled. Here is a quick overview of how it is organised.
Pages and modules
The dashboard is split into two types of sections: pages and modules.
Pages are core settings that every app has — things like your website URL, app name, push notifications, and build configuration. They are always visible and apply to your app globally.
Modules are optional features you can enable or disable — things like bottom navigation, biometric authentication, AdMob ads, and the QR scanner. Each module has its own settings page and can be toggled on or off independently.
Core pages
| Page | What it controls |
|---|---|
| General Information | Website URL, app name, logo, and package name / bundle ID |
| App Settings | Zoom, text selection, popups, screenshot blocking, caching, media, camera, microphone, location, URL rules |
| Style Customization | Status bar color, app background color, screen orientation, fullscreen mode |
| Push Notification | Send notifications to all or specific users from the dashboard |
| Signing Keystore | Android app signing credentials for Play Store publishing |
| iOS Code Signing | Apple Developer credentials for App Store publishing |
| Build & Download | Generate a new build — download APK/AAB for Android, or test iOS via browser simulator or TestFlight |
Modules
Modules appear in the sidebar under a dedicated section. Each module page shows a toggle to enable or disable it, followed by its configuration options.
Some modules also display a live preview alongside the settings so you can see your changes in real time — for example, the splash screen, bottom navigation, and circle loader all update the preview as you adjust values.
Android and iOS
If you have both an Android and iOS app, each has its own separate dashboard. Settings you configure in one do not automatically carry over to the other.
Some modules and pages only apply to one platform. For example, iOS Code Signing and Apple In-App Purchase are only available in the iOS dashboard, while Signing Keystore is only available in the Android dashboard. Platform-specific sections are clearly labelled.
Saving changes
Each page has a Save button. Changes are not applied until you save. After saving, your settings are stored and will be included in the next build you generate.
Building your app
Whenever you make changes and want to publish them to users, go to the Build & Download page. Enter a version name and version code, then start the build.
For Android, download the APK to install directly on a device for testing, or download the AAB to submit to the Google Play Store.
For iOS, Appilix does not provide a downloadable IPA file as iOS does not allow direct installation outside the App Store. Instead, you can test your iOS app instantly using the built-in browser-based iPhone and iPad simulator — no Mac or Xcode required. If you have completed iOS code signing, Appilix will automatically upload the build to App Store Connect, where you can then distribute it to testers via TestFlight.
