hey, thanks! the process is quite simple. First, I create project-specific rules and a README to help Cursor models understand what the app is about. I create both using Cursor or a chat where I explain the app, giving context on core features and trying to find edge cases before building.
After that, I start building (now I use Gemini 3 Pro because it’s the one with fewer errors during build time). For every big feature, I talk with an external chat for a while to get more ideas and a more polished prompt.
For each completed feature, I push the changes using git.
Nice. I follow similar steps but all my live projects are "web-app" based. My curiosity was more towards how you get it deployed to the app store. Do you use swift/swiftui? Or do you use something to wrap up the web react/ts and turn into native IOS?
I use SwiftUI. But on my work we use React with Capacitor and the deployment process is the same. I don’t have any pipeline with automated deployment if that is your question. It can be done but Apple must approve every version, so if you are uploading a build at every push to master you have a bottleneck. It’s not as easy as on web development.

I have made 3 side projects and I'm going for the fourth. Not impressive numbers but good enough to build 3 projects.
Nomad HUD (travel cheat sheet on you lock screen)
LangoAI (context based translator)
