In my experience, the better long-term choice if you're going to vibe code an app is to use Expo.
Its basis is React, so the code output quality is much higher than Swift because there is much more React code in LLM training data.
Everything is in the command line, and debugging is a breeze because it's a web view. But once it's compiled to native iOS, it feels like any other native app.
Expo + Fastlane = fully automated iOS submission and deployment. I issue one command and see a new version in the App Store.
- hetspookjee 3mo agoSome parts when creating a new app cannot be automated right? Eg registering the app itself for example.
- fragmede 3mo agoYou can have your AI agent use computer-use to click around on in a browser open on developer.apple.com if that's counts as automated to you.
- esafak 3mo agoThis one?? https://expo.dev/ https://expo.dev/ Our code broke It looks like there was an error we need to look at. Sorry about the inconvenience.
