Find answers to common questions about Vibecode, our features, and how to get the most out of your app development experience.

​
General

Vibecode is the easiest way to build beautiful mobile apps. You can simply generate apps with prompting, view and test your app on your phone, improve and complete the development of your app, and share with anyone in 1-click using App Clips.Vibecoding allows you to create anything you imagine, and Vibecode is the first ever mobile app that brings the power of Vibecoding to the masses.
Vibecode is unique because it:
  • Allows you to build and test directly on your mobile device
  • Supports one-click sharing via App Clips without requiring App Store submission
  • Generates native iOS/Android apps, not just web apps
  • Provides real-time preview and iteration capabilities
  • Offers extensive integrations with popular APIs and services
  • Gives you full access to export your source code
You can share your apps in multiple ways:
  • App Clips: Share instantly with anyone via a link without requiring App Store submission
  • Export Code: Download your complete source code and deploy it yourself
  • App Store: Submit your app to the Apple App Store for public distribution
App Clips are the fastest way to share, allowing anyone to try your app immediately without installation.
Mobile apps for iOS devices. The world is your oyster—you can build whatever comes to your mind. Check out the “What You Can Build” section in our Welcome guide for inspiration on the types of apps you can create.
No. Vibecode is designed for all levels of experience. Whether you’re a developer or a non-technical user, you can create apps using Vibecode.
We’re actively working on Android support. While we can already generate Android-compatible code, the native Vibecode Android app for building on-device is coming soon. Stay tuned to our updates and community channels for the latest announcements.
Yes! Vibecode generates production-quality code that you can use for real applications. Many users have successfully built and deployed production apps using Vibecode. You have full control over the generated code and can export it for further customization or deployment.
No coding experience is required! Vibecode is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced developers. You simply describe what you want in natural language, and the AI handles the technical implementation. However, if you do have coding experience, you can dive deeper and customize the generated code.
Absolutely! Vibecode is suitable for both personal and professional use. Many businesses and professionals use Vibecode to:
  • Prototype ideas quickly
  • Build internal tools and apps
  • Create client projects
  • Develop commercial applications
You own the code you generate and can use it however you like.
Yes! Apps built with Vibecode are cross-platform and work on both iOS and Android devices. The code is built using React Native and Expo, which enables deployment to both platforms from a single codebase.
It depends on the complexity of your app. Simple apps can be built in hours, while more complex apps with multiple features might take longer. The beauty of Vibecode is that you can iterate and refine quickly using natural language.

Building Tips & Best Practices

We recommend starting by simplifying your idea into the essential features, then build from there. It also helps to have an initial prompt that details the expected outcome in terms of the look, feel, etc. of your app idea.
Our AI Agent is pretty good at coming up with what is needed for building your app regardless of the prompt, but for specific features it is best to be as specific as possible. You can even suggest examples (e.g., “An app that is designed like Duolingo” or “make the app have the Google color scheme”). The models will continue to get better (and are already crazy good), so prompting will only get easier.
Either copy and paste the error back into the chat, or tell the AI agent that you got an error and it should try to resolve it.
It depends on complexity. By breaking tasks into smaller steps, planning ahead, and refining based on feedback, you can move quickly while ensuring quality.

​
Features

You can integrate payment systems into your Vibecode app by prompting the AI to add payment functionality. Popular options include:RevenueCat: For in-app purchases and subscriptions
  • Simply ask the AI to “integrate RevenueCat for subscriptions”
  • Configure your RevenueCat account and add your API keys via Vibecode app ENV tab
Stripe: For one-time payments and custom payment flows
  • Prompt the AI to “add Stripe payment integration”
  • Use Stripe’s API with proper key management through Vibecode app ENV tab
Important: Never hardcode API keys in your app. Always use environment variables or Vibecode app ENV tab for sensitive credentials.
To publish your app to the Apple App Store:
  1. Export your code: Download your complete source code from Vibecode
  2. Set up Apple Developer Account: Enroll in the Apple Developer Program ($99/year)
  3. Configure your app: Update app icons, bundle ID, and metadata
  4. Build for production: Create a production build using Xcode or EAS Build
  5. Submit for review: Upload to App Store Connect and submit for review
Check our detailed guide on “Deploy to App Store” in the Getting Started section for step-by-step instructions.
You can add backend services by integrating with Firebase or Supabase:Supabase (Recommended):
  • Prompt the AI: “Add Supabase authentication and database”
  • Create a Supabase project and get your API keys
  • Store credentials securely using Supabase secrets
  • Use Supabase Edge Functions for server-side logic
Firebase:
  • Ask the AI to “integrate Firebase authentication and Firestore”
  • Set up your Firebase project
  • Configure authentication methods (email, Google, etc.)
Note: Be careful with authentication - if implemented incorrectly, you could lock yourself out of your app.
To start a new chat session:
  1. Look for the “New Chat” or ”+” button in the Vibecode workspace
  2. This will create a fresh conversation while preserving your existing chats
  3. You can always return to previous chats by selecting them from your chat history
Starting a new chat is useful when you want to begin a completely new project or explore a different idea.
To download your project code:
  1. Open your project in the Vibecode workspace
  2. Look for the “Export” or “Download Code” option in the menu
  3. Select the export format (typically a ZIP file)
  4. Your complete source code will be downloaded, including all dependencies
The exported code is a complete React Native/Expo project that you can run locally, modify, and deploy as you wish.

​
Data & Integrations

We currently have a Vibecode Cloud feature in beta that allows you to add a backend to your app. It is not yet fully functional.However, you can integrate with backend services like Supabase or Firebase. Simply prompt the AI to add backend connectivity, and it will guide you through the integration process. This allows you to store user data, implement authentication, and build more complex applications.
We currently do not support Auth/DB, so we do not recommend adding this feature even though it is possible. If it is added, there is a chance you could lock yourself out of your own app without being able to recover it since there is no database functionality (yet).We currently have a Vibecode Cloud feature in beta that allows you to add a backend to your app. It is not yet fully functional.

​
Technical

To connect to your app via SSH:
  1. Navigate to the Export/SSH section in your workspace
  2. Enable SSH access for your project
  3. Use the provided connection details and credentials
  4. Connect using any SSH client or terminal
SSH access allows you to interact with your app’s development environment directly, useful for advanced debugging and configuration.
Vibecode generates true native mobile apps, not web apps. Your apps are built using React Native and Expo, which compile to native iOS and Android code. This means:
  • Full access to native device features (camera, sensors, notifications, etc.)
  • Native performance and user experience
  • Ability to publish to app stores
  • Offline functionality
While React Native uses JavaScript, the UI components are genuine native components, not web views.
Yes! While Vibecode primarily focuses on mobile apps, you can also build web applications. The same React Native codebase can be adapted for web using React Native Web or you can specifically request a web-focused build.Simply prompt the AI to “create a web app” or “make this compatible with web browsers” and it will generate the appropriate code.
