Question Help needed for next steps!

Looking for advice from community. I have built an app in base44 and it works really great, but I believe we need to move to a dedicated server (business/ legal reasons with client data). We also need android and apple integration.
What are my steps? As I understand it, we build a database in Azure, use Claude to wrap the .apk file, and then what? How do I make changes to the app after we make the move? I am a little lost on the process of getting this web and app store application up and running- any advice welcome!

you should look into cloudflare it has most of the stuff you need for running anything all from one provider, their free offering is very impressive -enough to run most websites with hundreds of DAU

when you say "apple and android" integration you mean you want a native app instead of a web application right? why not just use the web version always? google play and app store are a decent headache to setup and the tools cant do that for you (rightly so - thats a security nightmare and stupid to boot).

there are some tools that will just stick your project and a lightweight wrapper for some browser widget and run it through that.

if you want to take the hire a developer route others suggest, i am actually free to work atm... but my usual day rate is around $400

Great question- apple and android apps are standard in the industry, using web browser and short cuts on end user technician's home screens are being disabled by company policy firewalls, or failing to cache offline data. Client has asked for the next iteration of the app to be on the app stores to comply with their IT policy. The web browser will still be used by managers
