I’m trying to download my app from Thunkable X to my Mac to mess around in Xcode. Is there a way to do so?

Hey @Colossalcow91 👋

Thunkable X doesn’t use .xcodeproj files so there’s now way to download a locally editable copy - for now at least.

The ability to edit the underlying code has been requested in the past and is on our radar, but not something we are actively working on right now so please don’t expect to see this anytime soon.

Is there a particular reason you want to use this hybrid approach to development? Why not do everything in Thunkable or everything in your IDE?

I would like to add an Apple Watch app to my app that already exists in Thunkable
