Watch on YouTube youtube.com →Yes: Replit's agent now builds React Native apps with Expo and walks you through TestFlight and App Store submission, while dedicated mobile builders like Vibecode and Rork generate iPhone-ready apps from a prompt. Mobile is harder than web, though; Apple's review process, device testing, and native quirks add friction no AI removes yet. Most founders validate as a web app first and go native once users prove they want it in their pocket.
