Every Apple device. And the web.

Your app starts on iPhone today. Here is every other device and Apple capability, each with an honest label for where it stands.

  • AvailableIn generated apps today, proven by an automated build test.
  • BetaIn generated apps and build tested, still being refined.
  • Coming soonBeing built and tested now. Not in generated apps yet.
  • PlannedOn the roadmap. Not in generated apps yet.

One idea. Every screen.

Real native Swift for each Apple device, from the same project, as each one lands.

What your app can use.

Apple's own frameworks, used the way Apple documents them. Our AI reads Apple's documentation, so new capabilities arrive fast.

Every label comes from our capability registry, last checked on . A label only says Available once generated apps include it and an automated build test proves it compiles.

How a label changes.

We would rather under-promise. Here is what each move takes.

Built with Apple's tools.

Generated apps are compiled with Xcode on our build Macs, the same tools Apple gives every developer.

Tested before it says Available.

A capability only moves to Available when generated apps include it and an automated build test proves it compiles.

Some need Apple's approval.

A few capabilities, like CarPlay, need an entitlement Apple grants per app. We say so up front.
