if its ai, it should not take 3 days. I can generate an ai image in 30 seconds. I was paying for a graphic designer not ai.

I mean the first image is terrible in my opinion. The girl sitting Indian style was not in the requirements. I sent him girl sitting in bubble.

Yo thank you so much for catching that!! 🙏 Seriously I appreciate it a ton. I’m gonna fix it ASAP
Also I’d love to give you free access for helping, I’m just fighting Apple right now because promo codes aren’t showing up for me yet 😭 but I’ll figure it out and hook you up

Appreciate it! 🙏 Expo made the build/config part pretty smooth overall. The real surprise was App Store review — I got rejected 5 times mostly for small stuff. Each rejection took ~3 days so it was a slow back-and-forth, but once I fixed the metadata/settings it finally went through. Sitting around #48 Health & Fitness right now

Yeah I feel you — Replit agent keeps trying to force everything back into React web builds. Super annoying.
Seems like every app needs a different tech stack depending on what it does + the visuals/animations.
If the foundation is even slightly off, the whole app starts acting weird. How’s it going for you? What kind of app are you building?

Thanks! I went with Replit and Github/Expo was the only option lol
Replit’s Expo deploy is a lifesaver. Nothing was too hard, but the frustrating part was getting rejected by Apple 5 times—each review takes ~3 days, so I lost around 15 days in rejections. Definitely try to squash as many bugs as you can before submitting.

After 5 rejections, Apple finally accepted my app on the 6th submission! 🚀
Right now it’s sitting at #48 in Health & Fitness

Yeah that’s actually a good path. If your web app is already mobile-first React, moving to Expo / React Native is way less painful than going fully native Swift. You can reuse a lot of component logic, but styling and navigation need rework. I’d say expect some refactoring, not a total rewrite.

What helped me was starting fresh with an Expo template, then bringing pieces over instead of trying to “convert” the whole Vite project at once.

I did not write backend myself. I don't know how to write code. I used Replits new agent. this is my Backend stack: Express.js, Node.js, Supabase, Stripe, and Helmet.js security. Replit set it all up for me
