Appfactory

Lets a coding agent take a SwiftUI iOS subscription app from idea validation through build, backend, store setup and TestFlight.

What you can do

AppFactory is a local MCP server that walks a coding agent through building an iOS subscription app. It harvests App Store data to score niches and check name availability, downloads competitor screenshots for design research, scaffolds a SwiftUI app from a template, and can set up Supabase backend, App Store Connect listings, RevenueCat subscriptions, localization, ASO assets and TestFlight uploads. Each stage has a gate, and irreversible actions wait for the user to run an approval command in their own terminal.

When to use it

Use it when you want an agent to ship a subscription-based iOS app end to end, from idea validation to a TestFlight build, on a Mac. It suits solo developers who want research, scaffolding and store plumbing automated while keeping control of submissions and destructive changes.

Requirements

A Mac and uv; Xcode and other tools only for the services you enable. Optional services need their own credentials and CLIs: App Store Connect API key (APPFACTORY_ASC_KEY_ID, APPFACTORY_ASC_ISSUER_ID, APPFACTORY_ASC_KEY_FILEPATH, APPFACTORY_TEAM_ID), Supabase access token, RevenueCat secret key, provider keys for AI, plus firebase, gh, Maestro, Java 17+, node and claude-design MCP depending on what you turn on.
