When I was in middle school I remember a friend lieing that there is “a mobile app to create mobile apps”. I thought it’s an amazing idea, but it was way too early. I love how this hallucination became a reality. Good luck!

Not a lie anymore! There's CodeAssist for Android

And well, the app the post is about, for iOS.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for trying, sorry you hit that issue! Could you send us feedback from your project? (Go to the ... menu, then Send Feedback.) If you're not able to use the UI from within your project you can long-press on it from the main screen and choose Recovery Mode, and then enter the project with the interpreter disabled.

Not GP but all I’m seeing is « contact us » which will open the Mail iOS app. Since I don’t have that app on my phone I’m met with an error message and cannot know what address of yours I need to use to send a feedback. Btw my feedback is that I tried to create an app which needs camera access. The prompt and code creation worked. However the app does nothing since I believe the permission for camera access are not h…

Thanks, we'll have to update the Contact Us link to work more generically. The Send Feedback link is when you're inside of a project, and you tap the ... in a circle button. It uploads your feedback and code directly to us, so is the best way for us to directly debug when we're not rendering your code correctly.

I'll take a look at camera access and see what's going wrong there.

Would it be possible to embed Bitrig in an existing app? Similar to how you might embed React Native into a portion of your app to accelerate development in a specific area, it’d be awesome to preserve the mature areas of our apps and use Bitrig to quickly iterate on new features.

Yes, we think that could be a really cool way to allow mocking up changes to parts of an app, especially for non-technical members of the team. We're not set up for that yet, but it's on our roadmap.

What big assumptions are you testing with it? I pasted your URL into my app and it came up with: - Non-developers want to create mobile apps without coding. - Users are willing to pay for an AI-powered mobile app builder. - AI can generate functional apps using only a conversational interface.

I think that’s a pretty good list. The main one I would add is “creators will want to make native Swift apps to have a better user experience”

oooh I like that one. Basically I plugged the URL into https://vibeemt.com/
