iPhone vibe coding app ships first update in four months after App Store review issue

All’s well that ends well in App Store review controversies. Back in March, a major agentic coding company made news when Apple reportedly pushed back on new versions of its iPhone app.

Two months later, the head of the company says they “worked things out with Apple,” and they have a big new app update to show for it.

Replit brings Agent 4 to the iPhone app

Replit CEO Amjad Masad shared on X this week that the company and Apple resolved the issue that resulted in four months without any app updates.

“We worked things out with Apple, and just published our app for the first time in four months,” Masad says.

“Thanks to all our customers and creators who helped out. It’s been a journey, but we never give up and stay winning! Enjoy the updates! Lots of new things coming.”

For Replit users, the new update brings Agent 4 to the mobile app, which Replit says is built for creativity.

Replit unveiled its Agent 4 technology in March:

Replit’s latest iPhone app update also introduces support for parallel agents that can work on multiple ideas simultaneously, team collaboration using merge flows, and the ability to view projects across workspaces.

Alongside the release, Replit is running a promotion to attract users from other vibe coding platforms.

It’s unclear exactly what changed between Apple and Replit. The issue in March was around how AI-built apps were previewed on iPhone.

Looking ahead, Apple may be planning some bigger App Store changes around AI agents.

The company’s annual developer conference kicks off on June 8, so we’re likely only a few weeks away from some major announcements in this space.

Replit for iPhone and iPad is available on the App Store — now with its first update in four months.
