for apps, can we use location to help with geo restrict on apps, I will only be providing apps in certain countries for now, I know its easy for people to access apps that are restricted for certain countries but what else can we do,

and Also, is it difficult to create apps on this platform and also is it possible to use HTML code from [https://tumult.com/hype/](https://tumult.com/hype/)

it says ((((When exporting, Tumult Hype creates an entirely self-contained directory that holds all the resources and JavaScript for your content. Upload that directory to your web server, copy and paste three lines of HTML into your existing web page, and you’re good to go. Tumult Hype also supports exporting to MP4 Video, Animated GIF, and iBooks Author to create interactive textbooks)))))

You can use location and html code.

To get started, look at the Thunkable X Tutorials and documentation, where there are many simple examples and ready-made applications.

Some features you can see in my demo project

[https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5c8e64dfe1aad2f778a4c5ad/project/properties/designer/](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5c8e64dfe1aad2f778a4c5ad/project/properties/designer/)

Is it difficult to program on Thunkable X? I recommend you just try it. Many people already use their Thunkable X apps.

When using location does the end user get a iOS allow or deny pop up window when the app tries to access location data

Of course, do you want to know his location quietly without displaying this message?

No I don’t want to be doing anything without user being notified or given consent or allow it,

Do you like this example from the documentation that allows you to determine the location of the user?

Does the iPhone show a image window that in this page [https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/app-architecture/requesting-permission/](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/app-architecture/requesting-permission/)

I’m use to iOS apps so I would want my app to perform the same. But I’m not sure if Thunkable can provide these settings and features, maybe it’s only for native app creation using Apple programming language environments.

Thunkable X provides access to Google Maps, but you can realize far from everything that is possible in Google Maps, or you will have to work with the map via JavaScript.

Map functionality can be viewed here.

[https://docs.thunkable.com/map](https://docs.thunkable.com/map)

Is this functionality sufficient for you? If not, you will have to use web, web api and JavaScript services to work with the map and location.

No I’m not talking about the google maps I’m talking about the notification icon of my app is set to access location data. Is it native to iOS or would I have to create my own pop up window.

This should appear automatically by the system.

If the user doesn’t accept does the app still access location data or does it stop it from working

What happens in Thukable X, I don’t know. You can create a simple application and watch it. I do not have Live now.

Hi.  
I would like to know if you are using Tumult Hype HTML files with Thunkable X.  
And if yes, I need to know how or where to upload the HTML resources. Is there a way to create a folder (director) component? Or how to link the HTML file to the resources (for offline use).  
Thank you!
