Frequently asked questions

`pnpm install && pnpm dev` and you have a working app — no API keys, no accounts, no dashboards. Mock mode is the default. Most people have their own first screen building within the hour. A store-ready build is realistically a weekend, most of it spent in App Store Connect rather than in code.

Immediately after purchase you get a link to add your GitHub account to the private repository. Clone it and start. Lifetime access, including every future update.

Yes. The demo app is on TestFlight and Play internal testing, the full documentation is public, and the file tree and Agent Skills are published so you can judge the architecture before paying.

No. That is much of the point. The repo ships AGENTS.md and Agent Skills, so Claude Code, Cursor and Codex already know its conventions. You can build with an agent without deep React Native knowledge — but the store playbooks matter more for you, not less. Read them.

Depends how far you are. If you're pre-launch, moving your screens into this is usually faster than wiring auth, billing and the store pipeline yourself. If you're live with paying users, take the playbooks and the payments package and leave your app where it is.

Three things they structurally cannot offer. You own your backend — auth and data run in your API against your database, not a Supabase project. It runs with zero API keys, so an agent can build for hours without stopping to ask for credentials. And it includes the store-shipping playbooks, which is the part that actually blocks mobile launches. The $99 tier is a Supabase wrapper with a paywall component.

Free starters are scaffolding. They give you navigation and a theme, then you spend three weeks on auth, entitlements, webhook verification, tenancy and store configuration — and you spend it without a map for App Review. The first rejection cycle costs more time than this kit costs money.

Yes. The Vercel AI SDK is wired with streaming into React Native, and there's a chat example. The API is where your model calls belong — keys never reach the device.

For most development, yes. In-app purchases do not work in Expo Go on any kit — the native billing APIs aren't present. You need a development build for that, and the playbooks cover making one.

One-time. No recurring fee, no upsell to unlock features, no seat renewal. You get lifetime access to the repository and every future update.

Unlimited apps, commercial included. You may not resell the source or republish it as a template, kit or course. Agency tier adds client work and white-labelling.

Not to develop — mock mode needs nothing. To ship, you need Apple's $99/year developer program and Google's one-time $25. RevenueCat, Sentry and PostHog all have free tiers well past your first paying users. EAS has a free tier; you'll likely want a paid plan once you build often.

Yes. Parity purchasing power discounts apply automatically based on your location — up to 55% off. The code appears on the pricing page.

Yes — that's what the package boundaries are for. Drizzle or Prisma, any Postgres host, RevenueCat or direct StoreKit. Nothing here reaches into a vendor SDK from app code.

We track the SDK and ship an upgrade with migration notes. The kit is currently on SDK 57 with React Native 0.86.3. We build our own apps on it, so falling behind is not an option for us either.

Discord community on every tier. Startup and Agency add priority email, a consulting call, and a review of your App Store submission before you send it — which is usually worth more than the price difference.

We use it for our own client work. Keeping it current is not charity, it's our own tooling.
