# How to use App Share Settings

## Manage how users download, open, and share your app across iOS, Android, and the web.

The App Share Settings act as a central control point for your app’s built-in sharing links. These settings determine which URLs are used when users share your app, download it from the app stores, or access it through a web browser. You can use the system-generated defaults or replace them with your own custom links.

### **How to use App Share Settings**

1. Log in, go to **Builder** in the left navigation
2. Click **Settings**, then open **App Share Settings**
3. Review the **App ID**

     - This is a unique identifier assigned to your app
     - It is used internally by Buildfire to track and reference your app
     - This value cannot be edited
4. Review or update the **iOS URL**

     - This is the App Store download link for iOS users
     - It is automatically populated once your app is live on the App Store
     - Share this link directly with iPhone and iPad users
5. Review or update the **Android URL**

     - This is the Google Play Store download link for Android users
     - It is automatically populated once your app is live on Google Play
     - Share this link directly with Android users
6. Copy the **HTML5 URL**

     - This opens your app in a web browser
     - Useful for desktop access, previews, or sharing without app store downloads
7. Use the **Promo Page URL**

     - This is a system-generated landing page for your app
     - It includes:

           - App icon
           - App name and description
           - Download buttons for iOS and Android
     - You can link to this page from websites, emails, or marketing campaigns
8. (Optional) Restore system default URLs

     - Click **Restore System Defaults** to regenerate default HTML5 and Promo Page URLs if they are missing or blank

---

### **Pro tips**

- Use the Promo Page when promoting your app on websites or social media
- Share store-specific URLs to ensure users land on the correct app store
- Use the HTML5 URL for quick previews or web-based access
- Avoid manually changing store URLs unless you are replacing them intentionally
