Build and ship one app across App Store, Google Play and web
A commenter has used Replit since January on a single app that is now live on the App Store, Google Play, and the web.
Done withReplit Agent
- What they did
- A commenter said they’ve used Replit since January to build one app that now runs on the App Store, Google Play, and the web. Their setup uses Replit’s Autonomous Agent on a Reserved VM, with Replit hosting both the frontend and backend; they also said they regularly supplement it with Codex, GitHub, Claude, and other AI tools for development, research, and verification.
- How it went
- The app launched across Apple, Google Play, and web faster than they think they could have otherwise. But they reported repeated agent loops that introduced bugs, gave unverified answers, and burned credits, including over $200 in about 48 hours, several $300-plus months, and some months near $400.
- Worth knowing
- Biggest catch: costs spiked when the agent got stuck in loops, and support usually treated agent usage as nonrefundable, sometimes offering only a $25 credit.
