You may have used Loveable, Replit or even Base44, but where do you go when you want an iOS app? Well you may think of Bitrig, Rork or even Superapp. But where do you go when you want an iOS app with automated integrations for Apple Push Notifications service (APNs), In-App Purchases (IAP), Third-party API, including OAuth. Or even Sign in with Apple via private relay or Twilio for SMS. Ever heard of XC Wizard Pro? Or maybe its free version without automated Cloudflare / Neon integrations.

The secrets out! Using “agents” (an LLM client in a while loop with access to tools) to manage a command line interface / terminal / cli) is the premise of tools from Cursor to OpenClaw.

I knew when I started building my own back in September. I won’t forget because that is the point I stopped writing code. And I could see that what we thought builder.ai was in 2023 was now achievable with the release of Sonnet 4.5 on September 29th.

By this time, Rork and videcodeapp.com used Expo largely to distribute React Native over a JavaScript bridge. Resorted to third-party services for more Apple-centric features like Revenue Cat for IAP. Had little to no sympathy for backend except Supabase. And certainly no seamless integration for push notifications.

Base44 was a good yardstick to hold myself to for XC Wizard. It’s founder Maor Shlomo planted the seed for an experience that was frictionless with natural language and an interface. I would do the same but within the Xcode-Apple-Cloudflare-Twilio-Stripe-API-email ecosystem.

I’ve spent the last seven months deep in this space. I’ve tracked every tool, read every user review, joined the Discords, watched the Product Hunt launches, and — full disclosure — finally launching XC Wizard Free today for anyone with an Anthropic account with Claude Code. Our Wizard has hardened the xc namespace and a Claude Max subcription can build and distribute an revenue making app through subscriptions and one-time-payment.

I will finally say I have rearchitected the remains of vibecoding as a chat interface to more of a technical product manager. You can see in the image the main interface is not a chatbot but more like an adjustable roadmap with troubleshooting.

Here is the result of my 7-month journey building a better Xcode.

You can’t get to the App Store without Xcode. If you forfeit these you leave money on the table. This is why companies like Fastlane, Expo, Revenue Cat and even Superwall thrived pre-AI.

XC Wizard has rearchitected the user experience of vibecoding to a technical product management tool. Execution of app ideas for iOS is now as simple having one and pressing start build and continue in between quality assurance checks.

No need for Supabase. The Wizard creates a roadmap of build steps distilled from the architecture of your model entities which feed the sql tables and are secured by a self-healing backend provisioning loop and XCTests.

I was going to spend a week recording a demo and polishing the platform but decided I'd launch and get its utility out there.
