AppPresser Requirements

AppPresser is an iOS and Android application builder that specializes in integrating with WordPress. AppPresser includes several WordPress plugins and a AP3 Ion Theme that perform special functions like integrating with your favorite custom plugins.

The purpose of this document is to help all new AppPresser clients understand what is required to starting with our service.

WordPress

To get started making your very own application using the AppPresser platform, you will need a WordPress website already installed on a web hosting service provider. There are hosting requirements for the latest version of WordPress and those can be found here: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/.

Your WordPress website can still be a work in the making. You do not need to finish or fully build your WordPress website before. In some cases, building your Website and Application together can be very useful. The purpose is to have an installation of WordPress you can use to install our Plugins and Theme that are necessary to connecting your website to our MyAppPresser.com Dashboard.

AppPresser does not provide hosting services in order to install or set up a WordPress installation. We do help many customers and clients build their Applications form the ground up. And in some cases we can recommend a web hosting service provider we know to be reliable, offer great service and works well with our services provided. Please reach out to AppPresser Support if you need help finding a reliable web hosting provided with all of the recommended tools.

WordPress API

Once you have WordPress installed on a web hosting service provider, it's important to know that AppPresser connects to your WordPress installation by communicating through the WordPress API.

An application programming interface (API) is a program that enables two applications to communicate with one another. It serves as an intermediary between two pieces of software, facilitating a seamless collaboration. This allows data from your website to talk to our website. 

Some security plugins, tools, or security features on your web hosting service provider may block the communication between your WordPress website and our platform. You can use the following article to help resolve any issues: https://docs.apppresser.com/article/706-api-apppresser-information
