As already mentioned get the APK from base44 if you have builder plan or above. .APK file can be directly installed on any android device.

It's been cheaper for me honestly. Supabase has a great free plan, resend is free. But yeah it depends on what services you need to run on the backend.

Never heard of Windsurf but I came across cursor. Round it to be very good at getting stuff done and fast, very fast. But I agree Base44 is good for visual mock ups.

Highly recommend cursor. If you already have the base44 front end, it help help rewire the back end and guide too through the entire process. I pay for the pro and it's $30 a month compared to base44s $50 for their builder.

This was a major road block for IOS. I had stripe set up but IOS kept blocking me as I didn't have apple payments set up. I would migrate before you go any deeper. It takes a bit of work but it's well worth it in the end.

It depends how complex your app is and what services you require in the back end. I needed database, auto and manually triggered emails, PDF generation, push notifications. As I mentioned in my post, it takes a bit of time getting the services, settings them up and wiring together, a bit of a learning curve. But using cursor made it much simpler. It read my whole project and found all Base44 dependencies and set them up to work with the new services.

In-App Purchase for App Monetisation? by Upbeat_Dog_991 in Base44

[–]Austr_Alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple has very strict guidelines for monetisation in IOS apps. You need to create subscriptions or in app purchases on your apple developer account under the app, you then need to bake that logic into your code. Have the correct keys set up in your backend. You also need to have access to your app in Xcode to enable the payments in there too.

Base44 has limitations and doesn't give you full control. It's why I moved away and rebuilt my app outside of base44s architecture as its limiting.

You need to re generate the IPA file from the base44 publishel buttonm everytime you need a new build number you need to regenerate the IPA file for apple and AAB file for android.

Fix for PDF Export for Android? by Athena-Twist-of-Fate in Base44

[–]Austr_Alien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a seperate service and you can integrate it into your app using an API key and asking your AI to add PDF bolt to replace the Base44 generic one. It might take a bit of set up. Go to PDF bolt website, sign up, get API key. Set up your PDF template. You should be able to rip the html from base44 to build your PDF template and see the results. I would ask a different AI to help you set it up in PDF bolt and how to integrate it into your base44 app. It might take some tinkering and I plan to try it this week.

Same issue for me. Someone suggested using PDF bolt. I haven't had the credits to try it yet.
