StoreReady Evaluates 14 AI App Builders for App Store Submission

Summary

StoreReady compares 14 AI, no-code, wrapper, and hand-written mobile-building approaches using one question: can the resulting app reach App Store submission on the user's own Apple Developer account? Its docket records 47 sourced claims from 35 sources and evaluates output type, whether source code is available, who submits the app, and whether a free tier exists. Twelve of the 14 entries are judged able to reach the App Store, although eight do so with caveats; four receive an unqualified "Ships" verdict, one is marked "No mobile binary," and one remains "Unknown." The review identifies five AI mobile builders, one AI web builder, five no-code mobile builders, two wrappers, and an Expo plus EAS hand-written control. Among the examples, Rork, Bolt.new, Adalo, Draftbit, Median.co, GoodBarber, and CatDoes ship with caveats, while Vibecode, Replit Mobile, and FlutterFlow receive "Ships" verdicts. Lovable is blocked because it is web-only, and a0.dev remains unresolved. The page also highlights Apple guidelines 4.2, 4.2.6, and 3.1.1, emphasizing that the developer-account arrangement, app functionality, and payment handling can affect submission. The verdicts describe a documented submission path, not a guarantee of App Review approval.
