Three Steps to Your Native App
Getting your WordPress site into the App Store and Google Play is simpler than you think.
Step 1: Install the Plugin
Upload the PressNative plugin to your WordPress site and activate it. The plugin creates a structured REST API that serves your content, branding, and layout configuration to the native apps. No server changes required — it works with any WordPress host.
Step 2: Customize Your App
Open the PressNative settings in your WordPress admin. Choose a theme preset or define custom colors and typography. Upload your logo, configure your home screen layout, and select which categories to feature. Use the live preview to see exactly how your app will look on iOS and Android.
Step 3: Go Live
Connect your site to the PressNative Registry, and we handle the rest. Your app is built, signed, and submitted to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Once approved, your readers can download it and start getting push notifications for every new post.
What Happens Behind the Scenes
The PressNative plugin exposes a layout API that the native apps consume. When a user opens your app, it fetches the home screen configuration, branding, and content from your WordPress site in real time. Posts are rendered natively — not in a WebView — for maximum performance.
When you publish new content, the app reflects it immediately. When you change your brand colors or rearrange the home screen, the app updates on the next launch. You stay in WordPress; your readers get a premium native experience.
