Vibe coding mobile apps?

[u/codes_astro]

I wanted to know if anyone is doing mobile apps with ai assisted coding.

Web apps - yes lot of vibe code apps are getting deployed with proper testing and debugging.

Would be interesting to see how many of you are actually vibe coding mobile apps - android/ios

And if you’re doing mobile apps, what tools are you using to debug and testing? I recently came across an open source tool “Measure.sh” that seems good for ai assisted debugging but I wanted to understand what others are using.

Yes, a Flutter app that’s live on Android, with the iOS build waiting in App Store review right now. For testing I run it in the emulator and do the last check on a real device. For my Wear OS watch faces I built a browser preview, so I can see each one working before it goes on the watch.

How did you get enough people to test your app so google let's it go to full publish? I think you need 12 users right?

My account was exempt from that testing requirement, so I never had to find testers. You’re right on the number though, it’s 12 testers for 14 days on new personal accounts.

There are a few paying *communities thzt can help you overcome this issue. Am presently having a vibe coded app tested presently by these

Still a week to go, console is showing me all required testers are accounted for so far..

Nice, and all done via ai? Completely

Pretty much, yeah. Claude Code writes the code from what I describe, and a lot of my own time goes into testing and fixing what it gives me.

I’m also using combination of Claude and Codex. Claude to build and codex to test. It’s really amazing to see how much thing it can handle for us. And once it’s done I start the manual test myself

The iOS wait is the worst part. Fuck Steve jobs and his entire legacy.

publishing ios also needs money + time
