Have you ever wanted to build a mobile app but don’t know how to code? Now, with ChatGPT and Appery.io, you can create an app in minutes—no coding required! This guide will show you how to design, customize, and launch an app with AI-powered tools.

🎥 Want the full step-by-step guide? Watch this tutorial or follow the steps below:

Getting Started with Appery.io

First, open Appery.io and create a new app. If you don’t have an account, sign up—it’s free and easy! Once inside, your app is empty, but you can already preview how it looks on Android and iOS devices.

Generating App Screens with ChatGPT

To create an app screen, go to the Pages folder. Select a Content element and click the AI Assistant button. You can type a request or use voice input. Let’s try:

“Generate a dropdown with all U.S. states.”

AI Assistant

Click Generate, and within seconds, the dropdown appears! Double-clicking it shows an array of states. Appery.io automatically loops through them to create the list.

You can find these states under the CODE tab in the Variables section.

Test it—and it works perfectly!

Creating a Dynamic Form with AI

Now, let’s build a more complex feature: a dynamic form. Again, select Content, click AI Assistant, and enter this prompt:

“Generate a form for this JSON object.”

Just like that, the form is ready!

When tested, all elements display correctly. Checkboxes appear for Boolean properties, dropdowns are generated, and there’s even a date-time picker!

Everything is structured neatly—perfect!

Adding a Fun Feature: A Tic-Tac-Toe Game

Let’s take it a step further and create a Tic-Tac-Toe game. Open a new screen and ask ChatGPT to generate the game.

And just like that, it’s done!

The AI builds the logic, and the game works instantly. Click Reset, and you can play again.

One of the biggest benefits of using Appery.io with ChatGPT is that AI doesn’t just generate UI elements—it also writes functional logic! Plus, you can customize the design however you like.

Exporting Your Mobile App

Now, let’s turn this project into a real mobile app.

• Select Export.
• Choose Binary APK / AAB.

• And boom—the Android app is ready!

Scan the QR code, download, install, and open it. In just minutes, you have a fully functional mobile app, created without writing a single line of code!

Final Thoughts

With ChatGPT and Appery.io, anyone can build a mobile app—no coding needed! Whether you want to create forms, games, or dynamic screens, AI makes it easy.

Introduction to WebSockets with Appery.io

Have you ever wondered how apps send updates in real-time? The magic happens with WebSockets. Today, we’ll show you how to add WebSockets to your apps using Appery.io. This low-code app-building platform makes it easy to create complex apps quickly. Note that this post supports our comprehensive video tutorial and if you are interested in details, you are welcome to watch it.

By following the steps below, you can easily enhance your app with real-time communication features using WebSockets and Appery.io. Exciting, right? Let’s get started!

Setting Up Your App

First, create an empty app in Appery.io. Then, go to the Catalog of Appery.io plugins and select the WebSocket Example plugin.

Before importing it, you can click the link to open its documentation page. You’ll see it contains the code for the WebSocket server. This server needs to be run somewhere. While real applications may use Amazon or Azure, we’ll use CodeSandbox for testing.

Using CodeSandbox

1. Create a new Devbox.

2. Select Node.js Server from the list of backend frameworks.

3. Name your Devbox and set its visibility to “Public”.

4. Install two npm modules: `express` and `socket.io`.

Now, let’s move to the next step.

Setting Up Your WebSocket Server

Copy the server code from the documentation page and paste it into your `index.js` file in CodeSandbox. If everything is correct, the server should start successfully.

Back to Appery.io

Return to the Appery.io project and click Import selected plugins with the WebSocket Example plugin checked. This plugin helps you integrate WebSockets into your app. But first, let’s test it.

Testing Your App

Go to the Project > Routing section and set “WebSocketScreen” as the default page.

Next, navigate to TypeScript > WebSocket and specify the URL of your WebSocket server obtained from CodeSandbox.

Now, run your app in different browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Enter a test message and click the “Send” button.

Ready! The message should be delivered to all clients in real-time.

Conclusion

Now you’ve seen how to add Websockets to your apps using Appery.io. This post is a companion piece to our detailed video tutorial. The demo app isn’t a finished product but provides a solid template for building your own real-time communication features. Give it a try and unlock powerful networking capabilities in your applications!
