Build and ship your first iOS app with Replit

They used Replit and ChatGPT to make a first iPhone app, then spent weeks getting it through App Store review.

What they did
They built their first iOS app entirely in Replit, while using ChatGPT to think through the plan and structure. Replit handled the coding work, and the rest was the App Store setup: Apple Developer enrollment, certificates, provisioning, screenshots, metadata, and subscription language. After that, they kept sending updates back through review until it cleared.
How it went
The app was approved, but the process took about a month. They said the review stage was much tougher than making the app itself, with roughly five-day gaps between rounds and several rejections tied to store-listing details.
Tips
Plan for extra time after the code is done, especially for App Store paperwork and repeated review cycles. Costs can pile up quickly across model use, the Apple account, APIs, and a domain.
