Visual Editor, Ask mode, Android push notifications, and more

New features

  • Visual Editor — Select and edit elements directly in the preview. Change text, colors, spacing, fonts, icons, and images without writing code. You can also make AI-powered edits by describing what you want to change in natural language. Learn more
  • Ask mode in AI chat — A new “Ask” mode joins Build and Plan in the chat mode selector. Use it to ask questions about your codebase, get explanations, or look things up — without triggering any code changes. Learn more
  • Google Play account connection — Connect your Google Play account directly from the Deploy panel. Newly pulls in your Play Store listing data so you can manage Android deployments without leaving the app. Learn more
  • Android push notifications via OneSignal — You can now configure push notifications for Android using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Upload your Firebase service account credentials in the OneSignal panel and send test notifications to both iOS and Android devices. Learn more
  • Download project as ZIP — Export your entire project as a ZIP file from the toolbar or the mobile menu. Useful for local backups or sharing your code outside of Newly. Learn more
  • Simulator build history — View and manage previous simulator builds from the Deploy panel. You can reload a completed build back into the simulator, download artifacts, or delete old builds.
  • Live Android build logs — Watch real-time build output for Android APK and AAB builds directly in the Deploy panel. Build progress, errors, and status updates stream live as your build runs.

Updates

  • Redesigned settings — A new settings modal replaces the previous account popup. Manage your profile, avatar, email addresses, connected accounts, active sessions, and account deletion all in one place.
  • Improved simulator toolbar — New controls for biometrics, media upload, location, and language. Simulator sessions now persist when switching between iOS and Android, and builds auto-install into the simulator when complete.
  • Mobile-friendly onboarding — The sign-up and login flow now features a cleaner OTP input for verification codes and better layouts on smaller screens.
  • Better mobile experience — Improved project view layout on mobile, globally visible connection status banners, and a fixed send button on mobile chat.
  • Longer build timeouts — Build containers now run for up to 24 hours, so large or complex builds no longer risk timing out.
