Create your app

How to create a new app record in Blockli Studio — naming, bundle identifiers, and initial configuration.

There are two ways to get started — create the app in Studio first, or let the WordPress plugin create it for you during the connect flow. Both end up in the same place.

Option 1: Create in Studio first, then connect from WordPress

Create the app

1. Log in to Studio and click New App (or Create App on an empty account).
2. Enter your App Name — the display name for your app (e.g. "My Community").
3. Click Create.

Studio creates the app record and assigns a unique appId.

Connect your WordPress site

1. In your WordPress admin, go to the Blockli Mobile App plugin and open Overview.
2. Click Connect. You’ll be redirected to Studio automatically.
3. Studio shows your list of apps. Select the app you just created.
4. The connection is confirmed and your WordPress URL is set up automatically.

Option 2: Connect from WordPress and create the app there

If you haven’t created an app in Studio yet, you can do it directly from the WordPress connect flow.

1. In your WordPress admin, go to the Blockli Mobile App plugin and open Overview.
2. Click Connect. You’ll be redirected to Studio.
3. Instead of selecting an existing app, choose to create a new one and enter your app name.
4. Complete the creation and the connection is set up in one step.

Next steps

Step 1: Configure the app

Set branding, navigation, and enabled modules. See App Configuration.

Step 2: Add credentials

Upload signing credentials and set your bundle identifiers and package names. See iOS Credentials and Android Credentials.

Step 3: Trigger a build

Go to Build and start your first build. See Building.

Important: Choose your bundle identifier and package name carefully before your first build. These identifiers are permanent — they cannot be changed once submitted to Apple or Google.

Managing multiple apps

You can create multiple app records under one Studio account. Common scenarios:

• Multiple tenants — different community sites, each with their own app
• Development vs. production — separate app records with different bundle IDs for testing builds

Each app record has completely independent credentials, build history, and configuration.
