# Multi-platform App Development
WeChat developer tools have been supported for Android and iOS Mobile App development, and an introduction to mobile application multi-platform frameworks can be found in [Multi-platform overview]]](https://developers.weixin.qq.com/miniprogram/dev/platform-capabilities/miniapp/intro/intro.html) .Before developing Multi-platform App using WeChat developer tools, developers need to understand the following basic concepts:
- Multi-end frameworks are frameworks that support the development of Mobile App using Weixin Mini Program technologies and tools. Developers can code at once and compile separately as Mini Programs and multi-end mobile apps for multi-end development;Can help companies effectively reduce the technical threshold of Multi-platform App development and research and development costs, and improve the development efficiency and development experience
- Developers go to WeChat Developer Platform to createAfter binding the Multi-platform App account to the subject's Weixin Mini Program account to a multi-platform application account, you can switch to multi-platform app mode in the developer tools for Mobile App development

Other additions:
- For details on how to create a Multi-platform App account and bind Weixin Mini Program, see Build your first app
- Developer Tools with version number ≥ 1.06.2306272 for Multi-platform App development;Build using the latest developer tools for development
# I. Upgrade to a multi-pronged project
After completing the account binding in accordance with the above guidelines, you can go to the WeChat developer tool to upgrade the Weixin Mini Program project to multiterminal project, the operation steps are as follows:
- Create a project using a Weixin Mini Program account bound to Multi-platform App
- Click on "Upgrade Multi-Platform Project" and wait a few moments to complete the project upgrade

- After upgrading to multi-terminal project automatically switch to "Multi-platform App mode," developers can carry out multi-terminal application development and debugging in this mode
- When Weixin Mini Program is not already bound to Multi-platform App, click on "Upgrade multi-pronged projects" and the following prompt appears. Click "De-bound" to quickly jump to the development platform for account binding

# II. Configuration Multi-platform App
After upgrading the Weixin Mini Program project to a multiterminal project in the above steps, developers can go to theproject.miniapagejsonMake Multi-platform App configuration. The supported configurations are as follows:
Note: The above configurations are "on-demand" for developers and are not all required
# III. Run in a simulator and in a real machine
After completing the above configuration, you can write code, compile it, and debug emulators and simulators in the developer tools. The following instructions are followed:
# IV. Building the installation package
After the development debugging is completed, developers can build the installation package and submit it to the major application markets for review and release on the shelves. The relevant operational guidelines are as follows:
# V. Feedback on questions
- If you have questions related to Multi-platform App, you can go to the multi-platform application community section for feedback, or contact the helper to join the official technical help group to handle them.
