TestFlight feedback comes in. An agent reproduces it, files the issue, writes the fix and runs it on a simulator before opening the PR. Our Cloud Simulators service is in preview.

One command. No breaking changes. And boom, you're on React Native 0.86.

The hard part is convincing leadership to let you.

Agents are good at assembling layouts. But they have no eyes, because design is not code. The fix isn't a better prompt. It's a shared vocabulary: 8 principles + a screenshot critique loop.

If your app feels slow today, there's probably a cold-start regression on a specific build, on specific devices... this has always been a difficult problem to identify. Now it's not.
