Overview
- Replit said it “worked things out with Apple” and released its first iPhone app update in four months after a review standoff over how its software runs on iOS.
- The update brings Agent 4 to mobile with parallel agents, merge-style team collaboration, and cross-workspace project views, letting users describe an app and have AI build and refine it on a phone.
- The earlier block centered on Replit letting users preview AI-built apps on iPhone, which touches Apple’s rule 2.5.2 that bars apps from downloading or executing new code that changes functionality.
- Neither Apple nor Replit has explained what changed to win approval, which leaves developers guessing about the limits for AI-generated code and points to possible guidance at WWDC on June 8.
- Replit paired the release with a migration offer that imports projects from rival “vibe coding” tools Lovable, Base44, and V0 so users can convert them into mobile apps inside Replit.
