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 am about to launch my second app on both stores. Fully IA assisted. My first one didn't have user except for my wife and me but it was super niche. Still happy it taught me many thing I re-use for my second one.

I spend a LOT of time planning everything. Lot of time asking 1000 question like "why do we use that, why do we do it this way, any other recommendation ect..." I spent a LOT of time testing it manually but I also spend a LOT of time (and token usage) having codex and Claude code run multiple end to end test. I run also countless security and performance audit. I never accept "ok, it's done". Everything I add or remove with Astra is review by opus and vice versa. I spend a LOT of time reading and feeding articles about security and constantly asking to compare with mine.

Will there still be bugs? Probably. But honestly, as much as many app I use everyday that have countless user. Will I always be able to solve the bug? As long as I pay for a Claude subscription, 100% yes

But why are you just using Claude to debug it will burn token and still you will get bugs. Plug tools via mcp and then let it test and fix for good, via app testing/crash/obserbility data. The tool I mentioned might be best fit for you.

You are pushing that tool a lot. You say "open source" but there is a pricing. Is that your tool?

I have unlimited token with Astra so I am not sure I really need it but I will have a look

Wait, unlimited Astra token? Is it from open source program or any offer that I’m not aware of

No, I just have a 100 usd codex account, I use it without restrain and they keep giving free reset and bank reset so I never run out of token
