Before you start

You need:
  • A Blockli Studio account
  • Your iOS bundle ID (e.g. com.yourcompany.yourapp) — set when you create the app in App Store Connect
  • Your Android package name (e.g. com.yourcompany.yourapp) — set in Google Play Console
  • Your WordPress site URL
Choose your bundle ID and package name carefully before creating your first build. These identifiers are permanent — they cannot be changed once submitted to Apple or Google. They should match the identifiers you register in App Store Connect and Google Play Console.

​
Creating the app record

  1. Log in to Studio and click New App (or Create App on an empty account).
  2. Fill in:
    • App Name — the display name (e.g. “My Community”)
    • Site URL — your WordPress site URL (e.g. https://community.example.com)
    • iOS Bundle ID — the Apple bundle identifier
    • Android Package Name — the Google Play package identifier
  3. Click Create.
Studio creates the app record and assigns a unique appId. This ID is shared across Studio, the WordPress plugin, and the app binary.

​
Next steps after creating the app

1

Connect WordPress

Go to Settings → WordPress Connection and connect your site. See WordPress Connection.
2

Configure the app

Set branding, navigation, and enabled modules. See App Configuration.
3

Add credentials

Upload iOS and Android signing credentials. See iOS Credentials and Android Credentials.
4

Trigger a build

Go to Build and start your first EAS build. See Building.

​
Managing multiple apps

You can create multiple app records under one Studio account. Common scenarios:
  • Multiple tenants — different community sites, each with their own app
  • Development vs. production — separate app records with different bundle IDs for testing builds
Each app record has completely independent credentials, build history, and configuration.
