Your Gemini CLI app in the App Store and on Google Play
Gemini CLI built and deployed it from your terminal. The App Store is one URL and one build away. All guides for Gemini CLI builders in one place: the iOS and Android walkthroughs, every native feature with a prompt for Gemini CLI, and what to do if a store says no.
Gemini CLI is Google's open-source AI agent for the terminal; since June 2026 it serves Code Assist, Gemini API key and Vertex AI users. Developers on Google Cloud and Firebase who work in the terminal and want a store app without a mobile toolchain.
Stack
Any web stack; Gemini CLI projects are often Next.js, React + Vite, Angular or Flask apps deployed on Firebase or Google Cloud
Publishing and hosting
Deploy from the terminal: the Firebase extension's /firebase:deploy command publishes to Firebase Hosting or App Hosting, gcloud run deploy --source . ships the app to Cloud Run, or push to GitHub and deploy with Vercel or Netlify. The live URL (or your domain) is what you insert into WebViewGold.
Authentication
Whatever you built: Firebase Authentication, Identity Platform, Supabase or Auth.js
Payments
Stripe
Builder badge
No builder badge to remove.
Example: from Gemini CLI project to approved app
Say you built a plant-care assistant with Gemini CLI: users photograph a plant, a Cloud Run route sends the photo to the Gemini API and returns care tips, and Firestore keeps each plant with its watering schedule. You deploy with /firebase:deploy to App Hosting, connect plants.yourdomain.com and wrap it with WebViewGold, so the native camera and file picker handle the photo upload. A local push scheduled with sendlocalpushmsg:// reminds users to water, and a report link under every tip covers Apple's Guideline 1.2 and Google's AI-generated content policy. The demo account in the review notes already holds three plants. Both stores approve the app, and each new deploy from the terminal reaches it without a store update.
Your first week after launch
Watch the Cloud Run logs in launch week; if the first request after a quiet night is slow, set a minimum instance instead of letting new users wait for a cold start.
Keep GEMINI.md current with the WebViewGold bridge calls you use, so later sessions do not remove them while refactoring.
Check Gemini API usage per user and add a daily limit before one enthusiastic user, or a script, runs up your bill.
When a user changes a watering schedule, cancel the old reminders with sendlocalpushmsg://push.send.cancel and schedule the new ones.
Ask for a rating with rateapp:// after a plant gets its first good check-up, not on the first launch.
Store-readiness prompt
Paste into Gemini CLI, review the changes, publish.
Prompt for Gemini CLI
This web app will be published as native iOS and Android apps that load its production URL inside the WebViewGold WebView wrapper. First fetch https://www.webviewgold.com/llms-full.txt with your web fetch tool and use only the URL schemes and JavaScript variables documented there; do not invent native APIs.
1. Ensure a meta viewport tag, no horizontal overflow from 320px to 1024px, 44px tap targets and safe-area-inset padding on fixed headers and footers.
2. Move every Gemini or other model API call to a server route (Cloud Run or a Cloud Function) and remove keys from client code.
3. Add /privacy and /terms pages linked from the footer, and a "Delete account" action in settings that removes the user's data and auth record after confirmation.
4. Remove "Download our app" banners and external promotional links from the main navigation; add retry states for failed requests.
5. List every Google or Facebook sign-in flow and the URLs it redirects through, so I can configure the Social Login Helper.
6. Add a short "Native app wrapper" section with these rules to GEMINI.md.
7. Show me the deploy command you would run, but do not deploy until I confirm. Summarize every change.

Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a Gemini CLI project into an App Store app?
Deploy it to a public HTTPS URL (Firebase Hosting, App Hosting, Cloud Run or any other host), insert that URL into WebViewGold for iOS, build with Xcode or the Cloud Builder and submit through App Store Connect. The Android app uses the same URL with WebViewGold for Android.
I was moved from Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI. Does that change anything for my app?
No. Since June 18, 2026, free and Google AI Pro or Ultra accounts use Antigravity CLI instead of Gemini CLI, but that only changes the agent you type into. Your code, your Firebase or Cloud Run deployment and the URL inside the store app stay the same; just check how the new tool loads your project context file.
Can Gemini CLI add native features through WebViewGold?
Yes. Gemini CLI can fetch the WebViewGold llms-full.txt and wire push registration, haptics, the share sheet, QR scanning or biometric login into your web code, because the JavaScript bridge is plain URL schemes and JavaScript variables.
Firebase Hosting, App Hosting or Cloud Run: which one should the store app load?
Any of them works, because WebViewGold only needs a public HTTPS URL. Pick by app type: Firebase Hosting for static and single-page apps, App Hosting for Next.js or Angular with server rendering, Cloud Run when you deploy your own container or API. Connect a custom domain either way, so you can move between them later by changing DNS instead of shipping new app builds.
Does Google sign-in through Firebase Authentication work inside the app?
Yes, with WebViewGold's Social Login Helper: add accounts.google.com to google_login_helper_triggers (iOS) and GOOGLE_LOGIN_HELPER_TRIGGERS (Android), and the Google step opens in a login window that Google accepts, then returns to your app. For the iOS app, also enable the Apple provider in Firebase Authentication to meet Guideline 4.8; WebViewGold detects Sign in with Apple automatically.
