Build and run iOS apps on iPhone using AI agents without a Mac

The author used a Cursor cloud agent to build, install, launch, and drive an iOS app directly on an iPhone, completely eliminating the need for a Mac computer, data cables, or simulators. While this establishes an end-to-end workflow, the current setup is still in its early stages and requires further refinement.

Steps

1Launch a cloud agent in Cursor and provide your code repository URL along with a brief app description.
2Instruct the agent to use tools like ios-builder to build the iOS application.
3Direct the agent to install the built application directly onto the physical iPhone and launch it.
4Have the agent drive and interact with the app on the device, observing the screen to confirm that key screens and features work properly.

Copy-ready prompt

Start a Cursor cloud agent on my repo [repo URL] to build my iOS app [short description] without needing a Mac on my side. It should build the app, install it on a simulator or device using [build tool or service], and report what it sees on screen. Finish when the app launches and you have confirmed [key screen or feature] works, and ask me before changing signing, accounts, or anything paid.
