# RNBlocks documentation

> Build iOS and Android apps with AI. Use Studio to create and preview an app, connect services, and prepare a release.

This index links to public task guides. Follow provider-specific prerequisites and available actions in the app. Preparing a release, submitting it, passing review and making it public are separate states.
