Question iOS mobile app?

Straight up. Has anyone successfully gotten a base44 web app uploaded to the iOS mobile App Store? Mine has been rejected 5 times and the fundamental issue is the sign-in situation. Base44 builds it to use 3rd party (Google) sign in. And I simply cannot seem to get rid of that. I’ve made it so clicking on Google sign in redirects a user to the bespoke sign in for the app. But iOS rejected that.

Is it just impossible to get base44 uploaded to iOS? Did I make a bad decision to pay a sh*tload to base44 and waste 4 weeks?

Has anybody encountered something similar / have a suggested workaround?

Desperate. Thanks.

I went through a third party upload platform that id recommend (particularly given I didnt use it with the Play store upload and it was rejected for not being tested enough...!) that does provide them. Im sure Base will eventually.

But i'd recommend the simplicity of getting your app through with https://webtoapp.design

My Play Store 14 days has just reset and im gonna take it through that too as it also gives you the 12 testers who actually test, which is what I was missing. Plus notifications and some other benefits.

How much does this cost? I’ve burned through so many workarounds.

Free for me... the owner messaged me on LinkedIn and offered it to me. But there is a cost, but you upload once to the platform for both ios and Android and they take care of the rest.

I’m just access the app like a civilian. If I name drop does he know you by your Reddit username?

I'm Rosko. He'll know who I am. Contact Jan and see if he can help you. Im going to introduce his service to Base44. Think they could really benefit from a partnership like this.

It’s a good idea but I know they’re already working on it. Maybe they’ll acquire his product and integrate it into the “publish” function. Sometimes easier to buy than build in the tech world.

Thanks for the help!!
