A real app you own — without the rejection lottery.
Most AI app makers ship a web view wrapped in a binary, which is exactly what Apple's 2.5.2 targets. Buildy generates a real, exportable React Native app instead.

“No-code app makers” varies by tool; many ship a web/PWA wrapper rather than a native binary, and some restrict source export. Builders that embed a live preview or JS runtime in the shipped app are exposed to Apple's 2.5.2; ones that compile a self-contained native binary are not. Buildy always gives you the real React Native source.
