How to unable native mobile app in mendix tool

In Mendix, you cannot “disable” Native Mobile with a single toggle, but you can effectively remove or stop using it depending on what you want to achieve.

If you just want to stop using Native Mobile:

• Remove or ignore all Native navigation profiles
• Switch your app entry to Responsive Web (Navigation → Default home page)
• Make sure no deep links or buttons point to native pages

If you want to fully clean it from the project:

• Delete all Native pages
• Remove Native layouts
• Uninstall related modules like Native Mobile Resources (if not used elsewhere)
• Check for any nanoflows used only by native and remove them

If your issue is related to build or deployment (common case):

• Disable Native build usage (no need to generate a native package)
• Just run the app as a web app

So in short, there is no “disable” button. You either stop referencing Native features or remove them from the model.

If you can share what problem you are trying to solve (build error, performance, deployment, etc.), I can suggest a more precise approach.

If this resolves your issue, you can mark it as accepted.

Hi,

If you want to disable or stop using the native mobile app functionality in Mendix, it depends on what exactly you mean by “unable native mobile app.” In most cases, this refers to preventing the app from being built or accessed as a native mobile app.

1. Disable Native Mobile Navigation Profile

Mendix supports multiple navigation profiles:

• Responsive Web
• Native Mobile

To disable native mobile:

1. Go to Project → Navigation
2. Open Navigation Profiles
3. Locate Native mobile
4. Remove all pages or simply do not configure any home page

If no pages are configured, the native mobile app cannot function.

2. Remove Native Pages

If you have already created native pages:

• Delete or stop using pages with layout type = Native
• Ensure all flows/pages are using Responsive layouts only

3. Avoid Native Build Process

If you are using tools like:

• Make It Native
• Native Builder

Simply stop building/deploying the native app. Mendix will still run as a web app without any issue.

4. Module Cleanup Optional

If your project includes native-specific modules:

• Remove modules like:
  • Native Mobile Resources
  • Native-specific widgets

This ensures your app is purely web-based.

• Mendix does not have a single “disable native mobile” switch
• Native functionality is active only if you configure and use it
• To disable it:
  • Remove native navigation setup
  • Avoid native pages
  • Do not build/deploy native apps

Once these are removed, your application will behave purely as a web (responsive) app.

Hi,

In Mendix, there is no direct option to “disable” a Native Mobile app. However, you can handle this in two ways depending on your requirement:

If you just want to stop using Native Mobile

You can simply:

• Keep the native setup as it is.
• Use your application as a web app (Responsive Web).
• Ensure your default navigation profile points to web pages.
• Avoid using any native pages or nanoflows.

If you want to remove Native Mobile completely

You can clean up your project by:

• Deleting all native pages.
• Removing native layouts.
• Deleting nanoflows used only for native.
• Updating navigation profiles to remove native references.
• Optionally uninstalling native-related modules (if not used).
