What is Blockli?

​

How it works

WordPress site                    Studio Cloud                 App stores
─────────────────                 ────────────                 ──────────
BuddyBoss + Plugin  ──────────►  Configure app  ──────────►  iOS + Android
(data + auth)        sync         Build binary   publish       (users)
                                  OTA updates ──────────────► (live)

1. Install the plugin on your WordPress / BuddyBoss site. It creates the REST API endpoints and settings that Studio reads.
2. Connect Studio to your site. Studio syncs your site’s capabilities (which community providers are active, what modules are enabled) and uses that to generate the app configuration.
3. Configure your app in Studio: branding, navigation, screens, and feature flags.
4. Add credentials for the iOS App Store and Google Play.
5. Trigger a build via EAS. Studio handles the Expo build pipeline and code-signing.
6. Publish your app to the App Store and Google Play.
7. Push OTA updates any time you change configuration or content — no new App Store release required.
