Building An iOS App With Only ChatGPT 5
Stephen Robles, one of my favorite YouTubers with no programming background, recently used ChatGPT 5 to create and successfully publish an iOS app to the App Store. Here’s how it went down:
- Built the entire app using AI-generated code
- Got rejected by Apple on first submission
- Used GPT again to analyze and fix the rejection issues
- Resubmitted and got approved
While Robles admits this was more of a proof-of-concept than a fully-featured app, the fact that he pulled it off is pretty impressive. Apparently, some developers weren’t too happy about his approach, though.
I would love to know what you guys think, especially you professional developers out there. Could this “AI-assisted coding” approach actually produce useful apps with real functionality, or will they always be limited to simple proof-of-concept projects? What dangers, if any, do you foresee when non-developers create apps in this manner? Let me know below.
