iOS app generator — from chat to installable IPA
In one sentence
BuildMyAPK is an iOS app generator powered by Expo and React Native. Describe your iPhone app in English, preview it in a live phone frame, iterate in chat, and cloud-build an installable IPA through EAS — without starting from an empty Xcode project.

What is an iOS app generator?
An iOS app generator creates iPhone-ready applications from a description. BuildMyAPK writes Expo / React Native code — one codebase for iOS and Android — and shows a live preview before you build.
Build iOS app with AI
Describe tabs, screens, and flows in plain English. BuildMyAPK generates Expo Router navigation, NativeWind styling, and working UI with sample data. Chat follow-ups refine the same project.
- Live preview before any build
- Expo / React Native — not a WebView wrapper
- EAS cloud build for IPA
- Device Bridge for USB install testing
iOS app generator and Apple credentials
EAS iOS builds require App Store Connect API credentials (team ID, key ID, issuer ID, and P8 key). Configure them in project settings. Android APK builds do not need Apple credentials.
iOS vs Android from the same generator
One Expo project targets both platforms. Generate once, preview on web and phone frame, then build APK for Android testing or IPA for iPhone testing.
How to start
Create an account, open the dashboard, and describe the product in one sentence — or paste a website URL. Preview the live app in a phone frame, iterate in chat, then export source or run a cloud build for APK or IPA.
FAQ
Does the iOS app generator write Swift?
It generates Expo / React Native (JavaScript/TypeScript). Expo compiles to native iOS binaries via EAS. You can eject or add native modules later.
Can I build an iOS app without a Mac?
Generation and EAS cloud builds run in the cloud. You need a Mac only if you want local Xcode debugging.
Will BuildMyAPK submit to the App Store?
No. BuildMyAPK builds the IPA. App Store submission stays in your Apple Developer account.
Can I preview on a real iPhone before building IPA?
Yes, when an Expo Go tunnel URL is available. You can also build IPA and install via Device Bridge.
