Would you let AI debug and test your React Native app on a real iPhone from anywhere?

Hey everyone - I’ve built Metro Remote, a secure AI-to-iPhone layer for React Native / Expo teams.

The idea is simple: AI can write code, but mobile still has a real-device bottleneck - installs, logs, taps, TestFlight loops, and checking whether a fix actually works on a physical iPhone.

Metro Remote lets AI debug, test, and ship React Native apps on your real iPhone from anywhere, including over 5G.

The connection between the AI agent and the device is secure, and the goal is to support the full mobile development workflow: build, run, debug, test, and verify fixes without changing your app.

I’m still in pre-launch, but the site is live., est. launch July 2026. I’m looking for early React Native / Expo developers to take a look, give blunt feedback, and potentially lock in founder pricing if it solves a real workflow pain.

I’d love feedback on:

- Would this fit your workflow?

- Would remote real-iPhone debugging save you time?

- What would you need to trust the security model?

- Is this painful enough that you’d actually use it?

Feel free to DM me!

I gave Claude encrypted hands and eyes on a real iPhone. It taps, types and debugs a live app over 5G.

Metro Remote is the secure infrastructure layer between AI and your devices. It works across the entire developer lifecycle, so you (or your AI) can run, debug and ship a real iPhone app from anywhere, even when you are on 5G.

I wanted to see if Claude could actually use a real device, not a simulator, not screenshots. So I built a way to give it encrypted hands and eyes on a real iPhone: it taps, types, swipes, reads the screen and debugs a live app.

It can run up to 100 actions in 30 seconds, with a real feedback loop so the AI knows exactly what is happening on screen at each step. Every connection between the AI and your device is encrypted in transit and isolated per customer.

The part I am proudest of: you can debug without changing a single line of code (no test IDs, no SDK), which is part of what we have patented. We are patent pending in the UK, with US and international filings to follow within the 12-month priority window.

We have signed major partnerships and just opened founder pricing. It is holding ~98% reliability, tested across more than 200 apps. If anyone is willing to test in the short time, we are launching next month, I would really love feedback from this great community of builders.

Limited Founder access is open, or you can join the free waitlist. Hoping to get 250+ on waitlist. Est. launch, July 2026. metroremote.dev

Happy to chat all things AI. Feel free to DM me too. A video attached shows the speed of AI debugging on an Ipad.

Thanks everyone! Please be kind!
