Native SwiftUI, with the iOS Simulator free on every plan.
Draftbit builds React Native apps on Expo, with in-browser simulators on its Pro plan and code export from Standard. Borel writes native SwiftUI, streams the iOS Simulator to your browser free on every plan, and lets you download the code on any plan, from $20 a month for Pro.

Borel and Draftbit: questions
React Native apps on Expo, in a visual builder with AI help, for iPhone, Android and the web. Borel builds only for iPhone and iPad, in Swift with SwiftUI, Apple's own language and framework.
On Borel, yes, for everyone: every build runs in Apple's iOS Simulator on Borel's Mac, streamed to your browser. Draftbit's in-browser simulators come with its Pro plan.
On Borel, on any plan: the SwiftUI project with an XcodeGen project.yml that opens in Xcode. Draftbit's code export starts on its Standard plan.
Yes. Borel builds your SwiftUI app and submits it to Apple from the browser on Pro, from $20 a month. Apple asks for its paid Developer Program for every App Store app, and the app you submit is the one you tested.
Yes, on Pro. Borel Companion installs the real app on your iPhone from Windows or a Mac: a cable once, then Wi-Fi. A free Apple ID is enough for your own apps, up to three at a time, and Companion renews Apple's seven-day signature for you.
Yes. AI, data, sign-in and storage are built into every Borel app, with no keys to paste or services to set up. Describe a feature, such as accounts or saved notes, and Borel wires it into your SwiftUI app.
