# Creating Your First App

> How to create a new app record in Blockli Studio — naming, bundle identifiers, and initial configuration.

## 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

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect WordPress">
    Go to **Settings → WordPress Connection** and connect your site. See [WordPress Connection](/studio/wordpress-connection).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the app">
    Set branding, navigation, and enabled modules. See [App Configuration](/studio/app-configuration).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add credentials">
    Upload iOS and Android signing credentials. See [iOS Credentials](/studio/credentials-ios) and [Android Credentials](/studio/credentials-android).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Trigger a build">
    Go to **Build** and start your first EAS build. See [Building](/studio/eas-build).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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.
