About NativePHP for Mobile

NativePHP for Mobile lets you build truly native iOS and Android apps using PHP and Laravel. We believe PHP developers shouldn't need to learn Swift or Kotlin to ship a mobile app. Your Laravel application runs directly on the device with an embedded PHP runtime, giving you full access to native platform capabilities while writing the code you already know.

• Native iOS and Android builds from a single Laravel codebase.
• Embedded PHP runtime with persistent mode for fast, long-lived execution.
• Access to native device APIs through a flexible plugin system.
• Background tasks, queue workers, and scheduled jobs running on-device.
• Push notifications via APNs and FCM.
• Hot reload for rapid development on simulators and physical devices.

NativePHP for Mobile is accessible, powerful, and gives Laravel developers everything they need to go from idea to App Store.
