The creator demonstrates how they automated the entire process of researching, building, testing, and submitting iOS apps using AI tools within three days, resulting in profitable apps like the Need Collector that quickly generated revenue and ranked on the App Store. By leveraging AI-driven browser automation and Xcode automation, they significantly reduced development time and effort, enabling rapid app creation and passive income generation with minimal manual intervention.
In this video, the creator demonstrates how they successfully made money by automating the creation and deployment of iOS apps using AI within just three days. They start by showcasing two apps they developed recently—the Need Collector and the Poker Machine—and highlight the revenue generated, with the Need Collector app earning $33 from 16 downloads in just a few days. The app even reached 12th place in the paid lifestyle category on the App Store, proving that this automation approach can yield tangible results quickly.
The creator then dives into the automation setup, explaining the five key phases involved: research, build, testing, Apple developer portal automation, and a brief manual inspection before submission. The research phase uses AI-driven browser automation tools, like the surf agent, to identify promising app ideas by scanning for new app IDs. Although the research phase doesn’t always yield perfect results, it helps generate ideas that can be refined and developed further.
Next, the build phase is fully automated using cloud code and Xcode automation. The system scaffolds the app project, writes Swift code, and runs the app in the Xcode simulator for testing. The creator demonstrates this with a “sealed notes” app concept, which allows users to record voice or text messages locked for future dates. Automated testing includes generating screenshots and validating app functionality, ensuring the app is ready for deployment without manual coding or testing.
Following the build and testing, the automation continues with the Apple developer portal, where the surf agent navigates the browser to fill out app submission forms, upload builds, and manage app metadata. The creator highlights that while most of the process is automated, a quick manual review is necessary before submitting the app for review. This pipeline drastically reduces the time and effort required to publish an app on the App Store, making it feasible to create multiple apps rapidly.
Finally, the creator reflects on the overall process and its profitability. With an initial investment of around $70 for an Apple developer account, the automated apps quickly recoup this cost and start generating passive income. The creator encourages viewers interested in automation and app development to explore these tools, especially the surf agent, and shares that they plan to continue building and automating more apps to create multiple income streams.
