Publish your Rocket.new mobile app as a shareable web preview so testers can open the build in a browser without installing an APK or IPA.
Rocket deploys your mobile app as a browser-accessible web preview that anyone can open without installing anything. This is useful for sharing with testers, stakeholders, or clients without waiting for App Store or Google Play review. You can push updates to the same URL at any time.
Mobile apps are always hosted on Rocket’s Netlify account. You cannot connect your own Netlify account or a custom domain for mobile app web previews.
Click the Launch button in the top-right corner of your task. A popup appears with the Rocket hosted tab already selected.
