Has anyone migrated from BuddyBoss with BuddyBoss App to FluentCommunity and been able to update the approved app?
Trying to find out for anyone that was using BuddyBoss with BuddyBoss App been able to transition over to keep the app updated?
And you still want to stay with buddy boss app. How much does this app cost you?
David Scurlock almost 200$ per month.... https://www.buddyboss.com/pricing/
Prosper BuddyBoss with the BuddyBoss app is not cheap by any means.
Luke Cavanagh take a pwa for free and try to get approved your app in the ios and android stores like the examples I gave on the other post
Prosper The approval process can be painfully slow with Apple. What about fallback method until the new version is approved, since the moment BuddyBoss is not present then the version approved built with BuddyBoss App would break, unless there is way to support FluentCommunity in the web fallback version.
Run FluentCommunity for the website and keep a private BuddyBoss instance purely to serve the app’s existing endpoints.
-
Why it works: the BuddyBoss App is a native shell that pulls data via REST from WordPress/BuddyBoss. If those endpoints and the site URL stay the same, your shipped app doesn’t need a store resubmission. BuddyBoss+1
-
How to wire it:
- Stand up a subdomain (e.g.,
api.community.example.com) with BuddyBoss Platform + BuddyBoss App plugin active. - Run the FluentCommunity migration on the main site for your web UX.
- Sync key objects from the main site → BuddyBoss API site (users, profiles, groups, activity, messages) using background jobs via WP-Cron/Action Scheduler or a small sync plugin that pushes diffs over REST.
- Point the BuddyBoss App at the subdomain (if app was already configured to your main domain, you’ll need to keep DNS/URL routing stable or you’ll need an app re-release).
- Stand up a subdomain (e.g.,
-
Pros: no API re-implementation; lowest mobile risk.
-
Cons: you operate two stacks + build/maintain a one-way sync.
^ Seems possible until the new version that only uses FluentCommunity and BuddyBoss has been removed is approved on Apple and Google.
Do not want to stay with the BuddyBoss App (is buggy and expensive). But the app is approved on both Apple and Google Play stores.
Luke Cavanagh have you considered your migration then just find a better app solution and submit them to the app stores? I know, you have already built the foundation, now you are looking for a way to relocate the foundation so it does not collapse.
David Scurlock The odd chicken and the egg situation, where if you migrate to FluentCommunity and BuddyBoss is no longer present, then the app will break for users, until the app is approved with the version built using FluentCommunity.
Luke Cavanagh I am not an app expert so you may want to tag Noor Khan maybe he can help, provide solution or say its not possible.
David Scurlock Still need to check out Appza builder.
Luke Cavanagh concerning the app have you considered a PWA at no cost? The examples of fc communities I saw seem to work very well. Have a look here (also the comments): https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/community-meta/post/fc-mobile-app
Prosper where do you get pwa from other members have also suggested webtonative.com they also have options to take care of the app submission process for you.
David Scurlock I don't understand your question
