Plugin details

Welcome to SwiftShell β€” The Native Mobile App Builder πŸ“±βš‘
Building a mobile app in Bubble often results in a product that feels like a "website inside a phone." Tap delays, clunky navigation, and the dreaded iOS Notch (Safe Area) ruining your headers.

SwiftShell changes everything. It is a lightweight, Native-Feel App Shell designed specifically for Single Page Applications (SPAs) in Bubble.

In just a few clicks, you can add a premium, fixed Bottom Navigation Bar that looks and behaves exactly like iOS and Android native apps.

🌟 Core Features (Free Version):

πŸ“± Editor Mockup Mode: See exactly where the iOS Safe Areas are while you build in the Bubble editor. No more guessing!

πŸš€ Zero-Delay Navigation: Changes tabs instantly using States. Perfect for SPA (Single Page Application) architecture.

πŸ“³ Native Haptic Feedback: Triggers subtle physical vibrations on Android devices when users tap your menu or buttons (iOS requires native wrappers).

πŸ›‘οΈ Auto Safe-Area Padding: Automatically protects your content from being hidden under the iPhone Notch or home indicator.

🎨 Customizable Tabs: Set up to 3 tabs with custom emojis/icons and active theme colors.


Stop building mobile websites. Start building Native Apps! πŸ₯‚

Instructions

πŸ“– Complete Setup Instructions 🎨 Phase 1: Design Mode (The Mockup Builder)

Create a new mobile-sized page in Bubble.

Add a Floating Group to your page. Make it span the entire width and height of the screen, and right-click to "Send to Back".

Drop the SwiftShell element inside this Floating Group and expand it. It will magically generate a visual iPhone mockup with red "Safe Area" guides!

Build your App! Drag your normal Bubble Groups into the white space. The mockup ensures your design never gets hidden by the iPhone's notch or bottom bar.

πŸš€ Phase 2: Live Mode (Preparing for Launch)

Once your design is finished, take the SwiftShell element out of the Floating Group and place it anywhere directly on the page.

Resize the SwiftShell element to 1x1 pixels (it will run invisibly in the background and generate the real navigation bar dynamically over your app).

You can now delete the Floating Group.

🧠 Phase 3: The Logic (SPA Setup)

Create your screens as standard Groups (e.g., Group Home, Group Search).

Make sure they are NOT visible on page load, and check "Collapse when hidden".

Go to each Group's Conditionals and add:

When SwiftShell's current_tab is 1 -> This element is visible (Check the box).

Done! The plugin will handle the CSS, the haptics, and the state changes instantly.
