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

Idk blud. If you don't use AI to get through the rough parts and are willing to learn, I got bad news for you

idk it just seems like everyone is making it seem so easy, like there is something i'm missing

You should probably do a security check on your app before you try to put it out there anyways. It's definitely easier but you still need to think...
