Can I publish a Zoho Creator app as an Android APK or iOS app?

Yes, on supported plans. Every Zoho Creator app works in Zoho's own Creator mobile app straight away. If you want your own branded app with your name and icon, Creator offers a custom-branded mobile app option that you can publish to Google Play and the Apple App Store under your developer accounts. Check which plans include it.

By default, users open your Creator app inside the Zoho Creator mobile app on Android or iOS. They log in, see the apps shared with them, and use forms, reports and pages that adapt to the phone. This works well for internal teams and costs nothing extra to set up beyond your Creator plan.

For customer-facing or branded apps, Creator lets you build a white-label mobile app with your own name, icon, splash screen and colours. Zoho generates the app package, and you publish it through your own Google Play developer account and Apple developer account. Apple and Google review apps against their own rules, so expect a review period and possible requests for changes.

Plan the mobile experience on purpose. Keep forms short, use offline features where field staff lose signal, and test on both platforms. Check the current Creator pricing page for which plans include custom-branded apps and any limits. If your users are outside your organisation, also look at the Creator customer portal option for login and access control.
