Importing an existing app

If you have an existing app built using the original ‘Classic’ Draftbit, you can import your app into the new AI-powered app builder. Select the tab from the menu on the Dashboard then select the app you’d like to import.

Expo Router

The app that you’re importing needs to have Expo Router enabled. If your app doesn’t have Expo Router already enabled, you’ll see an button to enable it before you can start to import process.

Once you locate the app you’d like to import, click the button to start the import process.

Your app code will be generated and packaged-up along with any image assets you have, then downloaded into your workspace. Once your app is imported, you can work on it using the AI app builder or in the code editor.

The import process can take several minutes depending on the size of the app you are importing. You can navigate away and come back to check on progress.
