Device resources

Native mobile applications give access to on-device resources such as the camera/photo library and location services.

This article series covers the currently available resources.

  • Camera/Photo Library: Article

  • Location services: Article

  • Push notifications: Article section

Customizing system permission prompts

When your app uses device features like the camera or location services, users may need to grant permission. You can customize the text shown in these permission prompts in the Settings – Language tab of the Bubble editor.
