Summary โคต๏ธ
Do i need Max but I got pro
This is a definitive guide to all mobile app development with Claude Code, including iOS apps, Android apps, the Expo/React Native framework, Supabase database integration, AI functionality, and more!
I'll start by walking you through how to set up a development environment before showing you a simple app design framework that cuts the noise and improves the likelihood your app goes viral.

Afterwards, I will build three apps for you: a habit tracker app, a calorie tracking app with AI functionality, and a Pomodoro app using AI design, and show you how to submit them to the app and Play stores.
Enjoy!
U need to do a tutorial how to get a deep voice, man u got great voice.
My software, tools, & deals (some give me kickbacksโthank you!)

Great course. One thing I suggest to look into is to use Xcode simulator as it allows you to test different versions of the iPhone. Mirroring is fine but most people don't have access to multiple different models of phones.

I have no problem subscribing but this catch and hook tactic is trash.

I had a cool app idea that I've been building the PRD for so I appreciate you for putting out this free course. I just spent my afternoon watching it end to end and now Im pumped to see if I can bring my idea to fruition. Thanks!

Why watch?
If this is your first viewโhi, Iโm Nick! TLDR: I spent six years building automated businesses with Make.com (most notably 1SecondCopy, a content company that hit 7 figures). Today a lot of people talk about automation, but Iโve noticed that very few have practical, real world success making money with it. So this channel is me chiming in and showing you what *real* systems that make *real* revenue look like.
thank you bro for sharing all of those useful info it really helped me a lot in designing and vibe code my mobile app
Hopefully I can help you improve your business, and in doing so, the rest of your life ๐
Like, subscribe, and leave me a comment if you have a specific request! Thanks.
Thanks ๐
Chapters

In case this helps anyone, if you run into "project is incompatible with this version of expo go" just downgrade your Expo SDK to match the version on your phone.
1:19 Showcasing the Habit Tracker App
2:11 Understanding the Development System
How do I get the same design as you when entering prompts? I also don't see how many tokens are consumed and how long it took in total, but only for the individual steps.
3:55 Building the App from Scratch
4:23 Setting Up Cloud Code
Exceeded my expectations. Subscribed for more content like this!

2:59:22 Enhancing App Functionality
3:18:29 App Performance Insights
Thank you so much, Nick! ๐ This is honestly one of the best app development tutorials I've watched. I followed your entire video step by step, built my very first app, and it's now live on the Google Play Store in the closed testing phase! ๐
Before this, I didn't think I'd be able to publish an app, but your explanations made everything clear and easy to follow. Now my next goal is to come up with a great app idea like Cal AI and build another successful app.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and inspiring so many developers. Keep making amazing content! ๐
3:41:46 Security Audits and Final Touches
3:45:02 Preparing for App Submission
thank you for the video
4:01:51 Monetizing Your Skills
Wow, absolutely awesome. About a month ago I started with my first app idea and I got on Base44 and started plugging away. Then I realized that wasn't working so well so, lots of bugs Base couldn't fix alone. I integrated Claude chat to code for Base44 and connected them. Then I finally got my app built!. Then I didn't know what to do with it from there because it was just a web platform and I wanted it on the app stores. I hired a Fiverr developer who has gotten it on the app stores, for a hefty fee..... but now he wrapped it with Capacitor and I'm trying to figure out how I can do the revisions myself to submit, I have to go through him to do them as far as I know because I'm new to this.
Going through what I've gone through, I'm now ready for Claude code and I plan on using React Native and expo. My app has RevenueCat and I'll be implementing BLE Bluetooth to my next one. Your video is only halfway through it and it gives me confidence to take it on myself. This is awesome. THANK YOU!
More User Perspectives
love it G
@CluvviFirstly, thank you for such an extensive tutorial! I am 3 hours deep right now and have a few questions:
1) As a beginner, as someone who would like to try this out, is there a way I could optimize token usage? I see that you are literally spending hundreds of thousands over the course of this video, more than even Max 20x subscription covers. Would you recommend any specific ways on how to build in a same efficient way, seamlessly and fluidly but with a reasonable token usage? Following the instructions I'll bump into a wall after like 15 minutes of running Claude. My first voice message would end my session.
2) I would like to know why are you using Chrome? Is that just a personal preference or is there performance/resource management reason?
trying to test the app on my phone but Expo go says SDK 56 isn't supported, is there an easier work around than an eas project?
@TheIntrospectivesAnd this omis free ... big thank you ๐โค
@imad200430This is fantastic @nicksaraev. We just ran into this video and we're thrilled to see it. Thanks for making it and please let us know if you have feedback for Expo.
@ExpoDeveloperssir i want to ask for a crash course just like this for FREE Claude Code version please.
btw, this video was very helpful and provides great guidance
Iโd like to know if there is any free version Claude code guys ๐ญ
@WellingtonSabino-l5zWhy dont you use planning mode and also type direct into claude code prompt instead of using a second claude chat for planning?
@NikolaiLangsem-b5zNever give claude code ur supabase keys.. bad practice
@NikolaiLangsem-b5zwho else is getting stuck 22 mins in ๐ญ
@ArticialIntelligenceMILTON16:34 is key
@ArticialIntelligenceMILTONPhases every vibe coder goes through...
1.Ooooh! I can make an app without knowing how to code
2. "WTF is npm?"
3. "Claude...fix this error"
4. WTF is SQL???
5. "Claude how can I save this information on the app"
6. "Claude...fix this error"
7. "WTF is API key?????"
8. "Claude...what is API key?"
9. This sucks
10. I wonder if i can make my million dollars day trading bitcoin? **Clicks on "How to trade bitcoin with AI" video**
Guys which AI platform should I use to build mobile SaaS apps can someone tell me please?
@varelloibrahimPlease launch claude detailed video from basic to advance l would love to learn from you thanks
@AccesorriesI was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to following this exact flow, but without Flex. I'd like to keep it javascript, html, and css. I like the file structure. Any comments appreciated.
@mjcochranHow many tokens are used to build 1 app 2:08:12 ?
