Apple Is Blocking Vibe Coding Apps From the App Store, Infuriating Developers

Apple Is Blocking Vibe Coding Apps From the App Store, Infuriating Developers

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech There’s unrest brewing in the world of vibe-coding startups. Apple is blocking AI coding apps on the App Store, sparking complaints among AI companies that believe the tech giant’s rules are outdated and draconian, the Financial Times reports. Apple’s resistance here could remain a huge roadblock for the AI industry, as coding tools have become one of the most popular — and potentially profitable — use cases for AI. The rule in question is App Store Guideline 2.5.2, which blocks apps from downloading, installing, or executing code that changes their functionality. This is a safety measure that Apple argues prevents unvetted software from running on users’ phones, per the FT. That’s quite clearly a problem for vibe-coding AI tools, whose purpose is to design and build entire pieces of software for you; when you use one of these apps’ preview functions to test your vibe-coded creation, that’s downloading and executing code. Among the aggrieved startups is Replit, which …

I’ve vibe coded 7 working apps — I wish I knew these 3 things when I started

I’ve vibe coded 7 working apps — I wish I knew these 3 things when I started

Published by skeptic

Almost three months ago, I discovered vibe coding after meeting YouWare in China, and to say that it’s changed my life since would be an understatement. Over the course of 12 weeks, I’ve gone from dreaming of building certain platforms and apps to using AI tools to build them. At first, I was slow and focused on one prompt and project at a time, but now I’m running up to five projects at once, with multiple parallel agents in each workspace. My vibe coding process and journey have changed considerably since I started, and here are the three things I wish I’d known then. Feed the AI context The more you tell it, the better some models are This is my golden rule: there should be one AI agent that knows everything about your business. Their sole job is to spot the vines — both good and bad — that are binding your business together. For me, this is where Claude Opus 4.6 proves to be both a blessing and a curse. It’s expensive, and …

Microsoft Is All-In on Agentic AI and Vibe Coding Now That It’s ‘Working’

Microsoft Is All-In on Agentic AI and Vibe Coding Now That It’s ‘Working’

Published by skeptic

During Microsoft’s latest earnings call on Wednesday, CEO Satya Nadella perhaps unintentionally summed up the current state of the company’s massive agentic AI push. “It sort of didn’t work until it started working,” Nadella said, referencing the Agent Mode feature in Microsoft Excel, “and that’s just because the model showed up.” Agent Mode, a feature that uses AI to create and edit Excel workbooks in tandem with your actions, is now the default mode for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Premium subscribers in Excel, Word and PowerPoint as of last week. He said Microsoft’s investments in its AI infrastructure gave the company the usage capacity to implement the model that worked. (Nadella used the term Agent Mode, but officially, Microsoft has retired that term, preferring the simpler “edit with Copilot.”) That capacity played a big role during the earnings call, as Microsoft shifts toward charging customers for how much they use the AI, not just for access licenses. “We have a structural position in knowledge, work, coding [and] security,” he said. “And then you couple that …

The Secret to Having a Good Vibe (That Others Can’t Resist)

The Secret to Having a Good Vibe (That Others Can’t Resist)

Published by Jenni Sidey

I was in a New York City taxi headed for the airport for a flight back to California. All should have been well except for one thing: My driver was out of his mind. Granted, I had made him wait for a few minutes while I was getting my bags. But his level of rage was truly frightening. Fueled by frustration, he was driving fast and recklessly on the highway around Manhattan. Cowering in the back seat, anxious for our lives, and feeling completely powerless, I decided to try an ancient Buddhist practice I had heard about. I closed my eyes and started silently repeating these phrases in my head: “May you be happy, may you be peaceful, may you be at ease.” They were directed at the driver, wishing him well. To my surprise, after a few minutes of doing this silent practice, the driver noticeably relaxed, slowed his speed, and struck up a lovely conversation with me. By the end of the car ride, he even showed me pictures of his kids. The …

People Who Can Read Moods, Energy, And Vibes Usually Have 11 More Rare Talents

Published by Jenni Sidey

Many people who have developed social awareness over their lives, whether from trauma or as a side effect of growing emotional intelligence, can read the energy of a room before they speak to anyone. It’s a natural kind of intuition that often serves in their best interests, connecting with people and protecting their peace. From noticing someone with great, welcoming energy when they’re anxious to seeing the vibes shift negatively when one person enters the room, they’re observant and aware. However, people who can read moods, energy, and vibes usually have more rare talents that others tend to miss. People who can read moods, energy, and vibes usually have 11 more rare talents 1. They have an accurate intuition Many people who can rely on their gut instincts and intuition to live their lives steer clear of overly rigid thinking because their inner voice provides all the wisdom they need. Especially when they practice building trust with themselves and regularly tap into their intuition with meditation, mindfulness, and reflection, they’re no stranger to trusting their …

AI startup Rocket offers vibe McKinsey-style reports at a fraction of the cost

AI startup Rocket offers vibe McKinsey-style reports at a fraction of the cost

Published by skeptic

Indian startup Rocket is betting that the next big opportunity is the part before the vibe coding: having AI help people decide what to build. It has launched a platform that produces consulting-style product strategies. The startup, based in Surat, India, on Tuesday launched its platform, Rocket 1.0, which connects research, product building, and competitive intelligence in a single workflow. The platform generates detailed product strategy documents — including pricing, unit economics, and go-to-market recommendations. As AI-powered coding tools proliferate — from platforms like Cursor, Replit, and Lovable to features such as Claude Code and Codex — writing code has become significantly easier and faster. “Everyone can generate the code now… it has become a commodity. But what to build is something which everyone is missing,” said Rocket co-founder and CEO Vishal Virani (pictured above), adding that “running a business and just building a codebase are two different things.” TechCrunch briefly tested Rocket’s platform ahead of its launch and found that it generated product requirement documents in PDF format from simple prompts. These documents resemble …

ICE Foiled At Every Turn By One Vibe Coding Man In His Pickup Truck

ICE Foiled At Every Turn By One Vibe Coding Man In His Pickup Truck

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Vibe coding often gets a bad rep. “Vibe” is a euphemism for “not really thinking,” and that “not really thinking” part is accomplished by letting an AI spit all the code out in response to natural language prompts. Inexperienced programmers use it to push out half-baked apps and sabotage their own projects, and experienced ones get lulled into making rookie mistakes. Enter one man who’s putting AI coding tools to extremely good use: Rafael Concepcion, a second-generation immigrant and former professor at Syracuse University who’s made it his personal mission to foil Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a new profile in Wired — a quest that would come at great personal cost, including his university job. Concepcion is behind a number mobile apps designed to counter ICE activities]. He started with an app to teach immigrants how to exercise their constitutional rights when approached by ICE agents. To build it, he heavily used AI tools like Cursor, …

Midjourney engineer debuts new vibe coded, open source standard Pretext to revolutionize web design

Midjourney engineer debuts new vibe coded, open source standard Pretext to revolutionize web design

Published by skeptic

For three decades, the web has existed in a state of architectural denial. It is a platform originally conceived to share static physics papers, yet it is now tasked with rendering the most complex, interactive, and generative interfaces humanity has ever conceived. At the heart of this tension lies a single, invisible, and prohibitively expensive operation known as “layout reflow.” Whenever a developer needs to know the height of a paragraph or the position of a line to build a modern interface, they must ask the browser’s Document Object Model (DOM), the standard by which developers can create and modify webpages. In response, the browser often has to recalculate the geometry of the entire page — a process akin to a city being forced to redraw its entire map every time a resident opens their front door. Last Friday, March 27, 2026, Cheng Lou — a prominent software engineer whose work on React, ReScript, and Midjourney has defined much of the modern frontend landscape — announced on the social network X that he had “crawled …

Apple Pulls Vibe Coding App ‘Anything’ From App Store, Escalating Enforcement

Published by skeptic

Apple has removed a “vibe coding” app from its App Store, reports The Information. AI app building app “Anything” was pulled from the ‌App Store‌, and Anything co-founder Dhruv Amin was told that his app violated Guideline 2.5.2. “Vibe coding” is a term used for code generated using AI based on natural language with no coding experience necessary. Anything and other apps like it let users create apps, websites, and tools with text-based prompts. Apple started removing vibe coding apps from the ‌App Store‌ earlier in March, and the company said that certain features in the apps that were pulled violate code execution rules. In a statement to MacRumors, Apple said that there are no specific rules against vibe coding, but the apps have to adhere to longstanding guidelines. Apple specifically mentioned Guideline 2.5.2, which is the rule Anything apparently violated. Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality …
