●●SolidBold BetShip It
Agent-first iOS pipeline when EAS Build already handles cloud builds.
Strengths
- •Eliminates Mac hardware requirement for iOS build and submission workflows.
- •CLI interface designed for AI agents to trigger builds autonomously.
- •Three-minute TestFlight preview turnaround for rapid iteration cycles.
Weaknesses
- •Cloud iOS CI/CD already exists via EAS Build, Bitrise, and App Center.
- •Agent economy positioning is speculative before agents routinely ship apps.
