iOS builds
iOS builds are not available yet. Pro and Unlimited include them for when the pipeline is live; no plan can produce an iOS build today.
What happens if you try
Section titled “What happens if you try”Selecting iOS returns one of two responses, depending on your plan:
| Plan | Response |
|---|---|
| Free | iOS builds are not included — upgrade to Pro to build for iPhone and iPad |
| Pro, Unlimited | The iOS pipeline is not available yet; we will email you as soon as it is live |
The second is the honest one for most accounts: the entitlement is real, the pipeline is not built. Buying Pro today does not get you an iOS build.
Why this page exists
Section titled “Why this page exists”Because “iOS builds” appears in the Pro feature list, and a plan feature you cannot use is worth stating plainly rather than leaving to be discovered at an error response.
What App Store submission will require
Section titled “What App Store submission will require”These are constraints on you rather than on Memberside, and they are worth planning for now.
You need your own Apple Developer account
Section titled “You need your own Apple Developer account”Apple’s App Store Review guideline 4.2.6 rejects apps created by an app-generation service and submitted by that service on a client’s behalf. Apps built from a template must be submitted by the client, under the client’s own Apple Developer account.
The practical reading of 4.2.6 is that the app must be yours: your developer account, your name on the listing, your support URL, and an app that stands on its own as a real product for a real community. An app that is a thin wrapper around a website is rejected under the same guideline, which is the argument for placing native features rather than webview screens.
The rest of the checklist
Section titled “The rest of the checklist”- A bundle identifier, permanent once published.
- Signing certificates and provisioning profiles, generated in your account.
- App Store Connect listing: name, subtitle, description, keywords, screenshots for each required device size, and a privacy policy URL.
- App privacy answers describing what your app collects. Memberside apps read from your own WordPress site, so the answers depend on what your site stores.
- A review account — reviewers need working credentials for a members-only app, or they will reject it as unusable.
What to do in the meantime
Section titled “What to do in the meantime”Build for Android. The configuration is shared, so nothing you do in the builder is Android-specific — when the iOS pipeline lands, the same app configuration builds for iOS without being rebuilt in the builder.
When it does not work
Section titled “When it does not work”| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| iOS build returns “not in your plan” | The account is on Free | Pro and Unlimited carry the entitlement, though the pipeline is still not live |
| iOS build returns “not available yet” | The pipeline does not exist | Nothing to do; you will be emailed |
| You need an iOS app now | Not possible through Memberside today | Get in touch so your case is counted |
