iOS Development
Skip the Xcode learning curve, provisioning profiles, and Mac requirement. Bilt lets you build, preview, and publish native iOS apps entirely from your browser.
Simplified
Xcode is powerful but complex. Bilt removes the barriers that make iOS development inaccessible to non-developers and time-consuming for everyone else.
Traditional iOS development requires a Mac running Xcode. Bilt lets you build native iOS apps from any computer with a browser — Windows, Linux, or Chromebook.
Xcode's code signing and provisioning profile system is notoriously complex. Bilt handles certificates, profiles, and signing automatically when you publish.
Xcode projects come with hundreds of build settings, schemes, and configurations. Bilt abstracts all of this — you describe your app, and the build pipeline is handled for you.
Xcode updates frequently break projects and take hours to download. Bilt's cloud-based build infrastructure stays current without any action on your part.
You don't need to learn Swift, Objective-C, or any programming language. Describe your app in plain English and Bilt generates production-ready React Native code.
Bilt streams iOS simulators directly in your browser and supports real-device preview via Expo Go. No local simulator downloads or device registration needed.
Default Path
The default path. Most Bilt users never open Xcode — everything happens in the browser.
Describe your app idea in the Bilt chat. AI generates your full native iOS app — screens, backend, and integrations — in minutes.
Test your app in the browser via streamed iOS simulator, or scan a QR code to preview on a real device with Expo Go.
When you're ready, Bilt handles EAS builds, code signing, and App Store submission. No Xcode needed at any step.
Advanced
Bilt doesn't lock you out of Xcode. If you're a developer who wants local device builds, native debugging, or custom native modules — your full codebase is always accessible.
Your Bilt project is a standard React Native + Expo codebase synced to GitHub. Clone it to your Mac anytime.
Bilt provides a one-line terminal command to build the app directly onto your connected iPhone via Xcode's build tools. The command handles configuration automatically.
Open the project in Xcode for native module debugging, custom native code, or advanced performance profiling. Full source code access means no limitations.
FAQ
Build your first iOS app in minutes. No Xcode, no Mac, no provisioning profiles. Just describe your idea and Bilt handles the rest.
