Replit iPhone App Returns With First Update in Four Months After Apple Review Standoff

The approval signals Apple's cautious openness to AI coding on iPhone.

Overview

  • Replit released a new iPhone version after a four‑month pause, with CEO Amjad Masad saying the company 'worked things out' with Apple.
  • The update brings Agent 4 to mobile and adds parallel agents, team merge flows, and viewing projects across workspaces.
  • The pause followed Apple's March pushback over Replit's on‑device previews of AI‑generated apps, a gray area under rules against downloading or executing new code.
  • Neither company has said what changed to clear review, and the approval shows Apple is still allowing AI coding apps under some conditions.
  • Replit is courting users from Lovable, Base44, and V0 with an import offer, and reporters expect WWDC in June to outline broader App Store guidance for AI agents.
