Your Mac is the builder.
Discover your iOS projects and connect one with the Mac CLI. The Mac agent checks for work and runs the build locally.

Your next idea.
On your iPhone.
Your AI writes the code. Your Mac builds it.
AirBuild gets it into your hands.
Turn a Git commit into a signed iOS app, with build logs your coding agent can read and an install link you can open on your phone.

CLOSE THE LOOP
Code is a start.
Using it is the point.
That new interaction. The map you just fixed. The tiny detail that only makes sense on a real screen. AirBuild connects your coding workflow to the iPhone in your pocket.
FROM REPOSITORY TO REAL DEVICE
The workflow available todaySend the next commit.
Start a build from the dashboard, CLI or HTTP API. Follow its progress and retrieve logs and diagnostics when something needs fixing.
The agent workflow →Try it on your iPhone.
The Mac verifies and uploads the signed IPA. Open an expiring install link on a registered device and test your changes.

A build loop
your AI can follow.
A coding agent with authorized shell or HTTP access can request a build, read structured status and inspect the logs. You decide which projects and branches it can build.
Read the integration guideCLI and HTTP API available in private preview.
A native MCP server is on the roadmap.

YOUR MAC. YOUR SIGNING IDENTITY.

Share the build.
Signing happens locally
Your signing keys stay on your Mac. AirBuild receives the exported IPA, build logs and status.
Every build starts with a commit
Build an allowed branch or a specific commit. Uncommitted changes stay outside the build.
Install links have an expiry
Downloads use signed, time-limited links. Device provisioning and signing validity are still enforced.
WHERE AIRBUILD IS TODAY
PRIVATE PREVIEWThe build-to-device loop.
An app shelf with project icons. CLI project discovery and linking. A Mac build agent. Web dashboard. CLI and HTTP API. Build logs and diagnostics. Signed IPA delivery to registered devices.
Less setup. More building.
Self-service accounts, a Mac menu bar app, guided folder connection, and an MCP interface for compatible AI coding tools.
Account access is currently provisioned manually. CLI discovery and linking work for configured Macs. Public signup and a packaged installer are not yet available.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
take off.
What is AirBuild?
AirBuild is an iOS build and installation service in private preview. A configured Mac agent checks out Git commits, builds and signs apps with Xcode, and uploads them for installation on registered iPhones.
Can my AI coding tool use it?
Yes, if it can run the installed AirBuild CLI or call HTTP APIs with credentials you authorize. There are no native editor integrations or MCP server yet. The integration guide documents the current interface.
Do I need a Mac and an Apple developer account?
You need an awake, connected Mac with Xcode, valid Apple signing credentials and a provisioning profile for the target devices. Your Apple account and distribution method must support the build. Developer Mode may be required for development-signed apps.
Does AirBuild replace TestFlight?
AirBuild focuses on testing committed changes on registered devices during development. It does not publish to the App Store or upload to TestFlight. Apple’s device registration and signing requirements still apply.
Can I connect all of my projects automatically?
Use the CLI to discover iOS apps in a chosen folder, then preview and link each app explicitly. A continuous folder watcher and graphical connection flow are planned. Existing account and Mac configuration are required.
Can I sign up today?
AirBuild is in private preview with manually provisioned access. Public signup and pricing have not launched. Existing users can open the dashboard; developers can explore the current workflow and requirements.
