Bolt alternatives for mobile apps

Why people look for Bolt alternatives

1. 1

   Store builds happen outside Bolt, with a command-line build tool on your own computer.

2. 2

   Bolt's docs say a project started for the web does not easily switch to mobile.

3. 3

   Backends must be JavaScript.

a0.dev: Builds IPA and APK files; IPA test builds install only on devices registered with a0.

Rork: Builds on Rork's cloud Macs and servers; installs through its iPhone app, a desktop companion, TestFlight or an APK.

Bolt: No store builds in Bolt: you download the code and run a command-line build tool on your computer.
