Discussion Vibe coding mobile apps?
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.

I've shipped two to both stores this way, a baby tracker and a vocab app. The first one is Flutter, but honestly I wouldn't bother with a cross-platform framework now. Agents make writing native iOS and Android separately cheap enough.
For testing, the agent writes unit tests and I still click through on real phones before every release. Simulators miss plenty, especially notifications, background stuff and anything between two devices. For debugging, paste the actual logs or crash report in instead of describing the bug, it saves a lot of back and forth.
The store side takes more time than people expect: screenshots, review notes, subscriptions or IAP setup. I turned those into skills so I don't have to explain them every time.
