We now provide IOS build support, creating and publishing IOS app is little trickier and time consuming than Android App,
so we will recommend creating IOS app only after you have tested and verified Android App.

<h3>Please follow these steps to get the IOS app</h3>

<ol>
    <li>Get your Android App by following Get Started tab, verify that it is working fine. As, if it is working fine, most likely IOS app will also work without any issues</li>
    <li>Checkout <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1229480101" target="_blank" >this sample app</a> on your IOS device
    </li>
    <li>Add your <a href="https://androapp.mobi/blog/create-firebase-app-ios/247" target="_blank" ><b>Firebase App ID</b></a> for IOS App in <?php echo $accountSettings;?> tab</li>
    <li>Create new Google Analytics account for tracking IOS App and enter <b>tracking ID</b> for IOS app in <?php echo $accountSettings;?> tab</li>
    <li>Trigger one android build after from <?php echo $lookFeelSettings;?> tab. (this is to push the ids you entered in earlier steps)</li>
</ol>
