Configuration

#Overview

NativePHP for Mobile is designed so that most configuration happens inside your Laravel application, without requiring you to manually open Xcode or Android Studio.

After installation, NativePHP sets up the necessary native scaffolding, but your primary interaction remains inside Laravel itself.

This page explains the key configuration points you can control directly through Laravel.

#The nativephp.php Config File

The nativephp.php config file is where you can configure the native project for your application.

NativePHP uses sensible defaults and makes several assumptions based on default installations for tools required to build and run apps from your computer.

You can override these defaults by editing the nativephp.php config file in your Laravel project or changing environment variables.

NATIVEPHP_APP_VERSION
NATIVEPHP_APP_VERSION_CODE
NATIVEPHP_APP_ID
NATIVEPHP_DEEPLINK_SCHEME
NATIVEPHP_DEEPLINK_HOST
NATIVEPHP_APP_AUTHOR
NATIVEPHP_GRADLE_PATH
NATIVEPHP_ANDROID_SDK_LOCATION

#Cleanup env keys

The cleanup_env_keys array in the config file allows you to specify keys that should be removed from the .env file before bundling. This is useful for removing sensitive information like API keys or other secrets.

#Cleanup exclude_files

The cleanup_exclude_files array in the config file allows you to specify files and folders that should be removed before bundling. This is useful for removing files like logs or other temporary files.

#Permissions

In general, the app stores don't want apps to request permissions that they don't need. To enable some permissions your app needs you simply need to change their values in the permissions section.
