Woo. Wow. Took a while, but we made it. And you know what? We've done everything that we need to do. I know we haven't built a particularly great app at the moment, but you've got all of the pieces that you need to get from Zero to Hero and build an incredible app that is obviously up to you. And remember that building a great app is not about the tools. It's about the idea and the execution with a good idea

not about the tools. It's about the idea and the execution with a good idea and great execution. You can build an incredible app and you can build those apps with native PHP. There's literally nothing stopping you now. So what are you gonna build? That's an exercise we have to leave up to you. But if you do build something and you're really proud of it and you release it on the stores, come and tell us.

But if you do build something and you're really proud of it and you release it on the stores, come and tell us. Come and join the Discord and tell us about the things that you're building. We'd love to see the successes that others are having with native PHP in this section about native PHP for mobile, we've been through a lot. We've seen how you can get set up with native PHP for mobile and build rich applications that tap into native features just with PHP.

and build rich applications that tap into native features just with PHP. And then you can use tools that you're already familiar with to build beautiful UIs with the web interface that you're already familiar with, and there's no stopping you. You can use React, you can use View, you can use livewire or S Felt, or HTMX or jQuery or any, um, uh, any mix of all of those things. The sky is kind of the limit

or any, um, uh, any mix of all of those things. The sky is kind of the limit and there's so many tools out there. Pick your favorite and start building. We've had a look at some of the native features that are available today. Of course, by the time you are watching this, there's every chance that there's even more features available. We've seen how native PHP can work on both Android

that there's even more features available. We've seen how native PHP can work on both Android and iOS from a single code base. So you can be building your Laravel application just the way that you want to developing it, even in the browser if you want, and then taking it to mobile via simulators and emulators, and real devices too. We've learned some of the tricks of the trade, like using hot reloading

We've learned some of the tricks of the trade, like using hot reloading and some of the dev tools in your browser to tap into what's going on in a simulator or a real device and make changes on the fly. So you haven't got to recompile your applications every time you want to see a change. We've looked at how you can use Xcode and Android Studio just very briefly in important ways.

We've looked at how you can use Xcode and Android Studio just very briefly in important ways. We even went under the surface just a little further to see how native PHP is working. What is it that enables us to run PHP without a web server? How have we packaged it up to run so smoothly on Android and iOS? And finally, we've been through the app store submission process. So we've looked at how to prepare your app

through the app store submission process. So we've looked at how to prepare your app for release on App Store, connect for Apple, and on Google Play Console for Android. And once you've completed both of those processes and your app has gone through review successfully, your app will then be on the stores in front of millions and millions of potential users. I couldn't be more excited for you right now. If you've never done mobile app development

I couldn't be more excited for you right now. If you've never done mobile app development before, this is an incredible moment. You now have all of the tools that you need to go away and create incredible applications. If you have created mobile apps before using other tools, I'd really love to hear your experience with native PHP. Is it good? Is it not so good? Please come and tell us so

Is it good? Is it not so good? Please come and tell us so that we can keep on making it better for everyone. And as you step foot onto this rainbow bridge into a whole new universe, one of the most important things I could wish for you is to enjoy yourself. Have fun building apps. I want it to be a delightful experience, and I want you to keep coming back and feeling confident about building your next idea using

and I want you to keep coming back and feeling confident about building your next idea using native PHP.
