athena26 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 How do I add my website into a app, I have a developer account but I don't know how to add the URL could anyone help me or explain how to do this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleMassacre Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 It's not as easy as just providing your site url and turn it into an app. There are places that you just plug your url in and they create some sort of app that uses a webview but if its not a responsive site, there is no point. But if your site is responsive, I really dont see a point either to do this because it will just look like your website, because it is just your website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more places your game is, the more exposure it gets. @Dayo created a post about turning your site into an APP. Send him a message.

big_mike Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I agree with @Sim on this one when I want to put my website on play store i need to make a webview file as far as im aware you can't just add a website to Google play it has to be in a APK file format, but it is easy enough you just have to have 2 things 1. Android studio and 2. The ability to Google which most of us have tbh and just a simple search for how to make my website an app with android studio job done there are tons of tutorials on how to do if anyone is struggling tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterisgb Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 one of my old sites I just used https://www.appgyver.com and used webview lol. Its a free site that allows you to make apps etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 A site in webview that creates APPs? Interesting and contradictory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena26 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 That's what I've used to add my website to play store quick and easy for APK files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleMassacre Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 For one of these types of games it probably best to use something like Ionic because then you could do push notifications and stuff like that to get people to login to your game when something happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Pay (Android) & Apple Pay (iOS) as mentioned before you have BrainTree (Best Option) and also Stripe which both provide these payments on mobile and also offer smart switching when it detects this platform. All you would need to do with a webview app is define either a mobile User Agent (defined by default) or a custom one that your script reads to switch out the gateway when using the apps. i personally use hybrid apps so build the payments, auth and basic user data native (Flutter, Dart) and then store the cookie and pass via webview for authentication for the website so still stay fluid but keep the native feel but that is my personal preference. As Kyle stated before you have Ionic and other similar frameworks that will get you similar results and alot more friendly if you have never developed mobile before.

Glock1533 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I made one for myself and I can send notifications to all users who have the app installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I'm not sure what webview uses, but google chrome has a push notification API. I've looked into it. Unfortunately I don't think MWG hosting supports it as I am on subdomain. @Dave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena26 Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I used appgeyser that works really well and all my members have installed the app which runs way better than the URL website, I'm waiting on Google to review my application to be released on play store and it allowed me to use PayPal and it let me keep the donation option but Google gets 30% of my donations. After reaching 1million$ for now it's only 15% per donation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Google hasn't let you keep donation yet IF your not approved yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
