Introduction
The Native Device Info plugin provides comprehensive device information and location tracking capabilities for mobile applications built with Bubble. This plugin is specifically designed for mobile platforms (iOS and Android) and allows you to gather essential device data including platform details, screen dimensions, network connectivity status, and real-time location tracking.
The plugin automatically collects device information when initialized and provides location services with customizable tracking intervals. It’s perfect for applications that need to adapt their behavior based on device characteristics or require location-based functionality.
Prerequisites
This plugin is designed for mobile platforms and requires:
- A Bubble mobile application (iOS or Android)
- Location permissions will be requested automatically when using location features
- No external API keys or third-party accounts required
This plugin is designed specifically for the mobile version of the Bubble editor. To test the plugin on your mobile device, use the TestFlight app available at:
Please note that the testing app is currently available for iOS only.
How to setup
To start using the Native Device Info plugin:
- Install the plugin from the Bubble plugin marketplace.
- Add the “Device Info” element to your page.
- The element will automatically start collecting device information once placed.
- No additional configuration is required - the plugin works out of the box.
- To use location features, simply trigger the “Get Location” action when needed.
- The plugin will automatically request necessary permissions from the user.
The element is minimal in size (20x20px by default) and can be placed anywhere on your page as it serves as a data collector rather than a visual component.
Plugin Element Properties
