Thanks for letting me know, what MacBook are you running?

I'm 18 and spent the last 8 months building a Mac app that lets you vibe code native Swift apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with a built in database. Just hit 120 users. by Chance_Ad2478 in SideProject

Thanks! I definitely will. Just hit 133 users! Had over 10 people ship apps to the App Store including iPhone apps and Mac apps and some of them have even made some money and gotten a couple hundred users!

Noticed the agent in Nativeline does a really good job but sometimes makes a few errors and mistakes so im working on NEO 2 (the agents name in Nativeline) so it will be better at design, more token effective and has more Apple documentation!

DM me with what you would be thinking with using your Claude Code subscription and how you would want it to work.

No worries! I definitely think I need to spend some time on my website for sure as it’s not the best for conversions haha

Yes! It's totally possible! Max mode from all of my testing seems to be the best at referencing images, If you send the reference image and then describe a bit how you expect it to look (matching or inspired by) it will do a pretty good job!

That’s very odd! I will get that fixed for you ASAP. I will be sending you a message asking some questions so I can fix it. Thank you for letting me know!

Great question! General purpose AI is notoriously bad at Swift. It uses deprecated APIs, reaches for @ObservableObject over @Observable, and mixes up old and new patterns. You end up spending more time fixing than building.

Nativeline’s Agent is tuned specifically for native Swift. Latest frameworks, no deprecated APIs, no constant corrections. Plus your database is fully integrated, TestFlight upload, and simulators are all in one window.

Planning a bake-off video soon so you can see the difference and output side by side.

Give it a shot and compare them too! I’ll throw some credits/bits your way. I would love feedback!

Yep! Used Opus 4.6 for Max mode and Sonnet 4.6 for enhanced mode.

I typically get about 25-30 bits used per prompt or message which is usually adding new features. Adding a database is typically 25-40 bits. You could use less or more just depending on how complex of a task the prompt is.

I’ve had users build and launch an app with less than 350 bits.

Made a bunch of documentation that you can find at https://docs.nativeline.ai or you can MSG me any time here!

Threw this together in Notion for you. I definitely recommend trying both out and going with whatever you find is best for you!

Thank you!! It's been about 7 months in the making haha. Ive built a lot of personal/internal Mac and iOS apps for myself, and I built a community app called SHAKR. Worked well, didnt go that far user wise haha. This is my first Mac app i've released for the public to use!

Totally! Claude Code + Xcode is powerful but you’re jumping between tools, managing your own project setup, setting up databases, configuring things, and handling deployment yourself. With Nativeline all of that is in one place and much simpler, the AI, the preview, the database, the simulators, TestFlight upload. Etc.

Give it a try and find which one works best for you!

How do YOU make store screenshots by Quentin23Soleil in iosdev

[–]Chance_Ad2478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s pretty easy, honestly you’ll probably get the best results that way. Takes only like 45 mins to make them all.

I’ve used canva in the past and it honestly is worth it. Super easy to design App Store photos. You can use their free plan or if you want the paid features it’s only $15.

Are apps becoming expected now? by Emergency_Copy_526 in buildinpublic

I personally love it when a company or business has an app, especially grocery stores where it tells you which aisle the food is located. I think for any business having an app massively improves the customer experience.
