Abstract: The previous article talked about how to use Alibaba Cloud IoT Studio to quickly create a web version of the mobile terminal, which can be used to control the Internet of Things devices by browsing the designated URL through the mobile browser. This article explains how to package this webpage into an APK file through a third-party platform, install it on your mobile phone, and implement APP functions.

1. Open an online packaged website
Many such sites can be found by searching for "web pages packaged into apps".
This article takes h5apk as an example (other types of online generated APKs are similar to each other).
Enter the website http://h5apk.cn/
2. Fill in relevant content online
The URL is the one published by IoT Studio. The input box with an asterisk is required.
Next upload icon
3. Generate APK file
After clicking Generate APK, a dialog box pops up, you need to enter your mobile phone number, which is equivalent to registration.
Next, you need to pay, and the price is based on personal financial evaluation. No matter what kind of automatically generated software is used, various forms of charges will be used. After all, the tuition fee you pay for writing an app is more than this price.
There is no free lunch in the world, always remember this. Find an offline company to develop an IoT APP, even more than this price.
After generating the APP, install it on the phone and open it to see the page you designed.
4. Summary
If you use a third-party platform to package the URL (page) into an APP installation package, you will all be charged. Alibaba Cloud Internet of Things platform can be free of charge for a period of time and can generate apk online, but this feature will soon be closed. Today's mobile visualization needs to be published with domain names and public IPs. Although the design is free, publishing still requires a certain fee. This is good. Free is not necessarily conducive to the development of the IoT ecosystem.
