How to Publish Lovable App to Apple App Store?

I show you how to convert a Lovable site into a mobile app and publish it on the Apple App Store.
The process is straightforward once your site is ready and published.
You only need your site URL and a third party app builder.

Prep

Open your project on Lovable.
Make sure your site is published.
If it is not, click the publish button in the top right corner and wait for it to finish.

Click the plus button to create a new app.
Type your app name, for example Lovable Project, then under App Type choose Web to App.
