Build Your First App

Before you buy

You need a supported Mac or Windows computer, an eligible Claude plan, and a compatible phone for the home-screen steps. No coding experience is required. This version of the course is for adults.

Claude Pro is currently $20 per month before applicable tax. Usage limits apply and the subscription is not included in the $19 course price. Existing subscribers may not need an additional purchase. The personal noncommercial teaching project can use Vercel Hobby; commercial projects require an appropriate plan. Provider pricing can change.

Build and Publish Your iPhone App

Requirements

A compatible Mac and supported Xcode version are required for the workflow taught here. Distribution requires an Apple Developer Program membership, currently $99 per year in the US, with regional differences. A physical iPhone is needed for the device-testing steps. Some optional labs require additional hardware.

Approval

You will learn the submission process. Apple decides whether an app is approved. The course does not guarantee approval, revenue, or acceptance of an unchanged template app.

02 · FAQ
Do I need to know how to code?

No previous coding experience is required for course 1. You will still learn how to describe a change, inspect what happened, test it and recover when it goes wrong.

Can I use a Windows computer?

Yes, for the tested course-1 and course-2 workflows. Course 3 uses a compatible Mac and Xcode.

Can I build using only my phone?

Not with the workflow taught here. Use a supported computer to build and your phone to test the result.

Will my first app be in the App Store?

No. Course 1 creates a home-screen web app. Native iPhone development and submission are covered in course 3.
