Can v0 build mobile apps?
Not native ones. v0 generates React web UI that runs in a browser. It looks great, but the App Store and Google Play need a native app.
Why v0 output is not a mobile app:
- Web components (div, Tailwind) do not run in React Native
- You get components and pages, not a full app
- No native device features beyond browser APIs
- Wrapping a web UI can be rejected by Apple (Guideline 4.2)
RapidNative builds the native app.
Same prompt-to-UI feel, but the output is a complete React Native app with navigation, state and a backend.
