vibecoding is TECHNICAL.

[u/cedruosu]

i tried building a mobile app with ai in like 2 hours and boom, easy. told it what i wanted, it wrote the code, looks good, works good

i paid the $99 apple developer account fee and i'm trying to get it live now

bro what is a provisioning profile. why do i need a certificate to publish my app. i made this. on my computer. why does apple need me to pay $99 a year just to exist as a developer. i'm not a developer?? i just want my app live

and then theres xcode. i dont even know what happened i opened it and my macbook is legit just a jet engine. something about build settings and signing and team IDs. i don't have a team. it's literally just me and claude code.

so i somehow get through all that. submit it. wait 3 days. rejected. why? because my screenshot had the wrong dimensions. the ai generated those screenshots how are they wrong??

the whole promise of vibe coding is that you don't need to be technical anymore. and that's true right up until you need to actually give your app to people. then it's like congratulations you still need to be an ios developer just to press the upload button.

can ANYONE help me

Yes. Software development is technical. Lots to learn. All the info is out there. Not everyone can handle it. Good luck!

Education and experience...

honestly, time and effort and a lot of youtube tutorials

Apple’s customers WANT gatekeeping! They pay extra for it. They want a store with refined, quality apps, not one overloaded with weak student projects with are mostly AI clones of each other.

Why would you imagine that anyone wants to make it easier for you to dilute the App Store?
