Ship a Mobile App from Design with AI

End-to-end mobile app shipping with AI: design-to-code, full test suite, App Store + Play Store publishing pipeline. Skills-hub recipe with Flutter, React Native, Expo, and native iOS / Android support.

Short answer

Install `react-native` or `flutter` for the app scaffold, `mobile-test` for the test suite, `mobile-qa` for the QA pass, `mobile-security-review` for the OWASP Mobile Top 10 audit, and `mobile-publish` for the iOS + Android publishing pipeline. The full chain from design to App Store / Play Store fits in a week with AI on every step.

Mobile development has the most painful tooling and the most exacting users. The 2026 best practice: AI on every step of the chain from design to store. Below is the canonical recipe for Flutter or React Native, install five skills, work through them in order, publish.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Scaffold the app from designs

    design-to-code or react-native / flutter skill. Detects the design system, extracts tokens, generates the navigation + screens + state management.

    $ npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install react-native design-to-code
  2. 2

    Generate the full test suite

    mobile-test covers unit, widget, integration, snapshot, accessibility, and platform-specific tests. Auto-detects Flutter vs React Native vs native.

    $ npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install mobile-test
  3. 3

    Run the QA pass

    mobile-qa audits permission flows, deep links, push notifications, offline mode, app store guideline compliance. Catches the issues that get apps rejected at review.

    $ npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install mobile-qa
  4. 4

    Security review

    mobile-security-review audits against OWASP Mobile Top 10 (M1-M10), credential storage, supply chain, certificate pinning, root/jailbreak detection. Produces severity-ranked findings.

    $ npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install mobile-security-review
  5. 5

    Set up the publishing pipeline

    mobile-publish configures Fastlane match, App Store Connect API, TestFlight, Google Play upload key, internal/closed/open testing tracks. iOS + Android in one command.

    $ npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install mobile-publish

Frequently asked questions

How long does a real ship cycle take?

Design → working build with tests: 3-5 days. QA + security pass: 1-2 days. Publishing pipeline setup: 1 day. Total: 1-2 weeks for a small/medium app, with AI handling ~70% of the routine work.

Flutter vs React Native vs native?

Skills exist for all three. Flutter is the most consistent design-to-code output (Material 3 + Cupertino). React Native is the most JS-familiar. Native (Swift / Kotlin) is the right choice for platform-specific work or maximum perf.

What about Expo?

react-native skill detects Expo vs bare RN and emits the appropriate setup. Expo Router is the default for new projects in 2026.

App Store rejection risk?

mobile-qa specifically checks for the common rejection reasons: permission descriptions, privacy manifest, App Tracking Transparency prompts, ATT compliance, prohibited APIs. Real rejection rates drop ~80% after running this skill.

Which AI tool is best for mobile?

Cursor with the Flutter / Dart extensions for daily editing. Claude Code for multi-file refactors and the publishing pipeline (Fastlane orchestration is good with Claude Code's terminal access).
