StoreReady, which AI app builders clear App Store review

A new sourced comparison called StoreReady evaluated 14 AI app builders, including Rork, Bolt.new, Lovable, and FlutterFlow, on whether each one actually produces a binary that clears real App Store submission, not just a working demo. The comparison tracks who controls the developer account for each builder, what caveats apply to published apps, and includes a hand-written Expo/EAS baseline as a control to show what a from-scratch submission looks like by comparison. Marketing claims from AI app builders routinely gloss over the gap between generating an app and getting it approved and published, and control of the developer account in particular determines whether a team can actually maintain, update, or migrate off a tool later. For anyone evaluating these builders for a real shipped product rather than a prototype, this is a concrete, sourced reference instead of vendor claims.

Context

StoreReady compares whether AI app builders provide a documented path to App Store submission on the developer's own account. Each verdict carries its evidence URL and reading date, letting someone choosing a builder inspect the basis for its submission claims.

Its terms distinguish that assessment from predicting approval for a particular app: content, permissions and business model can still cause rejection. The useful output is a dated assessment of the builder's submission path, with caveats, rather than a promise that every app it produces will pass.
