iOS app development

Is there any way to develop iOS or Android apps in replit?
either native or react native or flutter

You should probably use Android Studio or XCode for mobile apps.

But there are Swift/Kotlin/Java templates, but they probably won’t let you develop apps like you could in the actual programs listed above.

Swift is not in Replit, or well, the playground version is in Replit, not the app version.

Android Studio is compatible with iOS? I would not have expected that :laughing:

Unfortunately, XCode only works on macOS :sob:


@VamshiB you can use Swift Playgrounds

No, I meant something else. So basically, there’s 2 versions of swift: Playground and App. Apparently Playground is something like Python, while App is the actual version and is used for creating iOS apps. And Replit support the Playground version of Swift.

All, I already develop apps in XCode and And Studio. Seeing the whole hype about replit is to move everything to browser and cloud, I was expecting something like expo has for react native development in the browser with simulators for iPhone, Android. So I was expecting to know the thoughts from the replit team here on why they are not supporting this especially when they launched a replit app on mobile to develop stuff. If someone is developing an app on their mobile, isn’t it logical to expect they would first like to make a mobile app? Am I missing something here?
