Building mobile apps with Wordpress REST API
Kharron Reid has experience in web development since 1998 and has worked for companies developing mobile apps using APIs. The document discusses using the WordPress REST API to build mobile apps by creating a WordPress site, adding plugins like ACF to REST API, and then building a mobile app that connects to and pulls posts from the WordPress site using the API. Examples are provided of building a WordPress site, testing the API, and then steps to create a mobile app project that fetches the post responses to display. Examples are given of companies already using the WordPress API for mobile apps.
