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.
