What it is
Google AI Studio's Build mode generates Gemini-powered web apps you can deploy to Google Cloud Run. Developers and tinkerers prototyping Gemini-powered experiences who want a shippable result.

Native features for Google AI Studio apps
Each feature page explains the native part (one setting or one URL call) and the web-app part for your Google AI Studio stack, with a prompt to paste.
Push notificationsBrowser web push on iOS only works for home-screen web apps and most users never see it. As a native app built with WebViewGold, your Google AI Studio app gets the real thing: system push notifications on iOS and Android, sent from your backend, from a dashboard, or scheduled by your own JavaScript.Google login and Sign in with AppleGoogle AI Studio apps typically use Firebase Auth or Google Identity, if your app needs accounts. Email and password login works unchanged inside a WebViewGold app. Google and other OAuth providers block embedded WebViews, and Apple adds a rule of its own. Here is how to make every login method work in the app without changing your auth code.

Example: from Google AI Studio project to approved app
Say you built a plant identification app in AI Studio's Build mode: users snap a photo, Gemini names the plant and gives care tips, and Firestore keeps each user's plant collection. You publish to Cloud Run, map plants.yourdomain.com and wrap it with WebViewGold, so the file upload opens the native camera and the Gemini key stays in the Cloud Run environment instead of the app. A local push reminds users to water each plant on the schedule Gemini suggested. You add a report button under every answer and a privacy policy that explains photos are sent to Gemini. Both stores approve the app, and every redeploy from AI Studio improves it in place.
Your first week after launch
- Set a budget alert in Google Cloud: the Cloud Run deployment uses your Gemini key for every user, so a launch spike shows up on your bill.
- Read the reports on AI answers daily, adjust the system instructions in AI Studio and redeploy.
- Check the Firestore limits of the database the agent created; adding billing alone does not lift them, you have to upgrade the database.
- Send watering reminders as local pushes, so they work without a push server.
- Ask for a rating with rateapp:// after a user adds their third plant.

Prompt to paste into AI Studio
Prepare this app for publishing as a native iOS and Android app (it will run inside a native WebView wrapper): move all Gemini API calls to the server side so no API key is in the client; add /privacy and /terms pages linked from the footer; add a report button for generated content; make all screens responsive from 320px to tablet widths with 44px tap targets; show a retry state when requests fail; set the title to the app name (max 30 characters).

Frequently asked questions
Can a Gemini app from AI Studio be published in the App Store?
Yes. Deploy it to Cloud Run, keep API keys server-side, insert the public URL into WebViewGold and submit the native build. Apple accepts AI apps that moderate content and have a privacy policy.
Does the Gemini API work inside the app?
Yes, the WebView calls your Cloud Run backend exactly like a browser does.
AI Studio can build native Android apps now. Should I use that instead of wrapping?
AI Studio's Android output is a separate Kotlin and Jetpack Compose project that covers only Android and, according to Google's documentation, runs client-side without the server-side features web apps get. If your app already runs as a web app on Cloud Run, WebViewGold turns that one deployment into both an iOS and an Android app and keeps the Gemini key on your server.
Who pays for Gemini usage when my app is public?
You do. When you deploy from AI Studio to Cloud Run, the app uses your API key for all users, so every prompt from the store apps is billed to your Google Cloud project. Add sign-in, per-user rate limits and a budget alert before launch, and consider charging heavy users through In-App Purchase.
