Right. You can't vibe code an iOS app because the agent can't step into that cathedral. What I'm curious about is will this result in Apple locking down that cathedral even more or opening it up a bit - for example by better supporting progressive web apps.
Apple is benefiting hugely from Openclaw because the Mac Mini's are selling like hot cakes. My hope would be that apple embraces that community, but given the history of the senior leadership, I'm afraid that they will not do so.
- alsetmusic 8mo ago> You can't vibe code an iOS app Probably not a feature-complete app, but they're not completely unable to code Swift apps. I wanted to contrast Claude vs Codex and had both build a basic weather app just to see if they could. It wasn't anything anyone would want or buy, but they were both able to do that much.
- intrasight 8mo agoNone of them can build an iOS app. They require a human in the loop who has a business relationship with Apple.
- WarcrimeActual 8mo agoThis is kind of splitting hairs. The all need humans in the loop to set up hosting, web addressing, databases, etc...
- intrasight 8mo agoYou are describing a web site. I'm talking about a native app in the app store.
- alsetmusic 8mo agoYeah, I paid for the dev account and had them build Swift apps. That doesn't mean they can't write the code.
- alchemism 8mo agoI've successfully spec-coded a functional iOS terminal app for proxying Claude Code (and family) from an owned system. It was easy - even the icon and slick splash screen. An Apple Developer Account would be required to deploy it. A free account permits sideloading of a private app.
