If AIs start shipping apps directly to app stores, will Google and Apple have a different review process for them? Would the Google Store block its own Gemini vibecoded apps? 🤔

I think we are about to see massive changes on how stores and app submissions work now that a gazillion apps can be submitted every second.

The AI starts shipping to the App Store for AI review

An AI agent to use your AI coded apps from...

Turtles all the way down soon 🐢

At what point does an app store just become a full AI system that just builds the apps that people ask for & keeps recommending the ones that some heuristics say should be popular?

I’d think by that point the centralized App Store model would be either obsolete or highly fragmented.

Yeah, maybe. I could see this going either way, though obsolete would be ideal.

I think we’ll see it sooner than we think.

Interesting thoughts

Sorry your llm didn't pass the vibe check, said too many naughty things

App stores were built for human paced dev cycles, not AI scale output. They’ll either need to overhaul review processes or risk drowning in low quality or malicious apps. Curious to see if they apply double standards when it’s their AI flooding the gates.

F-droid model will prevail

Nah, fdroid is centralized.

App stores will be deprecated in favor of on-device auto-coding by the Corp approved LLMs

Yay! Even more useless crap everywhere!
