Watch this. The video captured simulator but working on actual device as well. I’ll try to add git integration, LLM harness for vibe coding, and debugging features.
Added AI support (Grok and ChatGPT, with subscriptions only).
Added limited shell support including Git.
Everything on iOS.
Does this mean we can use our iPad for CI?
Not yet. Currently it just builds and installs on the same device. It’s been just two days since I started this so.
What are build times like?
~85 sec for Audio Plugin template. Using 4 threads for build process.
Just out of curiosity: Is there a real-world use-case for you building apps on an iPad or is this just for fun and learning?

If we have to elaborate on real-world use cases, most DevOps tools provide convenience. Whether convenience is a reaction to reality is a debate that would generate a lot of engagement on this forum.
eh?

I love prototyping, and I often expand my prototypes into fully functional products. Recently, I built an app like Reaktor that can export all its connection information as JSON. I use Projucer with the GUI Editor enabled to create just the UI, then I give both of those to an AI and simply tell it, “Connect everything.” The result is a working synthesizer.
This AKAI EWI3000m clone was made entirely using that process.
And now, I’ve reached the point where I can do all of that using just an iPad. So, I guess that’s my real-world use case. Yesterday I created rotary speaker simulator just on iPad.

If you can build an app on your iPad, you could edit and test on the go. More DevOps.
