The Apple App store is seeing an unexpected phenomenon. Is vibe coding behind it?
""Vibe coding is using generative artificial intelligence to write code, which is how developers write computer programs. Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI, coined the term last February, explaining on X, 'there's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.'""
""However, that doesn't mean Apple is welcoming all vibe coding apps into its store. Citing security concerns, Apple has been cracking down on AI apps, even blocking Replit. And it's removed Anything, an AI-app builder that says it will 'turn your words into mobile apps, sites, tools, and products-built with code.'""
In the first quarter of this year, Apple's App Store saw a significant influx of 235,800 new apps, marking an 84% increase from the previous year. This surge follows a trend where developers created 600,000 new apps last year. The rise is attributed to 'vibe coding', a term coined by Andrej Karpathy, which involves using generative AI to streamline coding. Despite this growth, Apple remains cautious, enforcing strict review processes to ensure security and privacy in the apps it accepts.
