Hi Product Hunt, We built Phoenix because iOS development has a lot of repetitive work between writing code and actually getting an app running. Phoenix is an AI coding agent built specifically for iOS development. It can work with your project, edit code, run builds and tools, diagnose errors, and help iterate towards a working app. We wanted an agent that understands the realities of iOS development rather than treating an Xcode project like a generic codebase. We'd love to hear from iOS developers: What part of your iOS development workflow would you most want an AI agent to handle? Try Phoenix and let us know what breaks, what works, and what you'd like to see next.

Answering your question: the part I'd want handled is everything around the code, not the code. Generic agents write perfectly good Swift and then mangle the pbxproj adding the file, and you find out from a build failure that has nothing to do with what you asked for. The other one is telling a compile error apart from a signing or provisioning failure, because they look similar in the log and the fixes aren't related at all. Get those two right and the code writing matters a lot less than people assume.
