> You can't vibe code an iOS app

Probably not a feature-complete app, but they're not completely unable to code Swift apps. I wanted to contrast Claude vs Codex and had both build a basic weather app just to see if they could. It wasn't anything anyone would want or buy, but they were both able to do that much.

I've successfully spec-coded a functional iOS terminal app for proxying Claude Code (and family) from an owned system. It was easy - even the icon and slick splash screen.

An Apple Developer Account would be required to deploy it. A free account permits sideloading of a private app.

None of them can build an iOS app. They require a human in the loop who has a business relationship with Apple.

This is kind of splitting hairs. The all need humans in the loop to set up hosting, web addressing, databases, etc...
