Bubble
The Bubble native mobile plugin editor is now in public beta. It lets mobile app builders install native plugins from Bubble’s community or create and publish their own using React Native libraries.
Plugins published by developers feed into the marketplace, giving other builders a growing library of native features to browse and install.

How the Bubble native mobile plugin editor works
Builders now have two routes when adding native capabilities to a mobile app. They can choose an existing community plugin from the marketplace, or create a plugin for the specific feature their app needs.
| Route | What builders can do | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Install | Browse and add a community-built native plugin | Into a Bubble mobile app |
| Build | Create a plugin with any React Native library | Into the builder’s app |
| Publish | Share a custom native plugin | Into Bubble’s plugin marketplace |
The publishing route means each developer can contribute to the same library used by the wider Bubble ecosystem. A plugin made for one app can be published for other builders to find and install.
Bubble also points builders to its community forum for the material needed to get started. Mobile apps remain fully customisable when plugins are added.
Bubble expands its native mobile toolkit
The plugin editor follows other additions to Bubble’s native app builder. These include bringing the Bubble AI Agent to native iOS and Android, plus universal links and ready-made Sign in with Apple.
Those releases added specific capabilities to native apps. The public beta now gives developers a way to package additional native functionality themselves and distribute it through Bubble’s marketplace.
