- Place it in your root directory: yourdomain.com/robots.txt

9. convert website to a App

You can convert a website to a mobile app (Android/iOS) in a few different ways, depending on how advanced or simple you want it.

 Option 1: WebView App (Simplest Method)

Just load your website inside a mobile app using a WebView.

Android Studio= https://developer.android.com/studio

For Android (using Android Studio):

1. Create a new Android project.

2. Use a WebView in your MainActivity.java or MainActivity.kt.

3. Load your URL:

java

webView.loadUrl("https://yourwebsite.com");

4. Add internet permission in AndroidManifest.xml:

xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

▶ Great for static/dynamic sites, quick deployment  

▶ Not ideal for offline or performance-heavy apps

Option 2: Use a No-Code Platform

Platforms like:

- Thunkable

- Kodular

- AppGyver

- Glide (for spreadsheet-driven sites)

▶ You just enter your website link, and the app gets built.
