NativePHP for Mobile is a framework that lets Laravel/PHP developers build truly native iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, using an embedded PHP runtime inside a Swift/Kotlin shell. Its SuperNative engine renders Blade templates directly to native SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose views without a web view, and provides access to native device APIs via a plugin system.

Use cases

• build an iOS and Android app with PHP and Laravel
• ship a mobile app without learning Swift or Kotlin
• run a Laravel application natively on a phone offline
• access camera, biometrics, and push notifications from PHP
• render native mobile UI from Blade templates
• port an existing Laravel web app to mobile

When to choose

• you or your team already know PHP and Laravel and want to build mobile apps
• you want truly native UI and performance rather than a web view
• you need one codebase targeting both iOS and Android
• you want offline-first apps with on-device background tasks and queues

When to avoid

• you need pixel-perfect identical UI across platforms from a custom renderer
• your team is more productive in Swift, Kotlin, or Flutter/React Native
• you need deep customization of the native shell or platform build pipeline
• you require a large ecosystem of third-party mobile libraries from native ecosystems
