Built a mobile app with Replit Agent?
We'll make it production-ready.
Mobile apps live on someone's phone — the most personal device they own. Users expect instant load times, smooth animations, offline support, and zero crashes. AI tools can scaffold a mobile UI fast, but the gap between a working prototype and an app that survives App Store review, handles spotty network connections, and doesn't drain the battery is where most AI-built mobile apps fail.
Mobile App challenges in Replit Agent apps
Building a mobile app with Replit Agent is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
App Store and Play Store approval
Apple and Google have strict review guidelines covering permissions, privacy policies, content ratings, and technical requirements. AI-generated apps frequently get rejected for missing privacy disclosures, requesting unnecessary permissions, or failing to handle edge cases that reviewers specifically test for.
Offline functionality and network handling
Mobile users lose connectivity constantly — in elevators, on subways, in rural areas. AI tools build apps that assume a constant internet connection. Without offline caching, request queuing, and graceful degradation, your app shows blank screens or crashes when the network drops.
Device fragmentation and screen sizes
Your app needs to work on hundreds of different devices — from small Android phones to large tablets, with notches, punch-holes, and different aspect ratios. AI-generated layouts often break on devices other than the one used during development.
Performance and battery drain
Mobile users notice when an app drains their battery or feels sluggish. Unoptimized rendering, excessive API polling, background processes that never stop, and memory leaks are common in AI-generated mobile code. These issues cause uninstalls faster than missing features.
Push notifications
Setting up push notifications requires server-side infrastructure, device token management, platform-specific configuration (APNs for iOS, FCM for Android), and proper permission handling. AI tools generate a basic notification call but skip the entire delivery pipeline.
Secure local storage
Mobile apps store auth tokens, user preferences, and cached data on-device. AI tools often use insecure storage methods (plain shared preferences or AsyncStorage) instead of encrypted keystores. Anyone with physical access to the device could extract sensitive data.
What we check in your Replit Agent mobile app
Common Replit Agent issues we fix
Beyond mobile app-specific issues, these are Replit Agent patterns we commonly fix.
Secrets stored in Replit environment
API keys and credentials stored in Replit's secrets manager don't transfer when you export the project. Developers often hardcode them as a workaround, creating security risks.
No HTTPS or security headers
Replit's development environment doesn't enforce HTTPS or set security headers. Apps deployed without proper configuration are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Database connection instability
Replit's hosted databases can disconnect unexpectedly. Without connection pooling and retry logic, apps crash or lose data during these interruptions.
File system assumptions
Replit Agent sometimes writes to the file system assuming persistent storage, which breaks on containerized or serverless deployments.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a mobile app with Replit Agent?
Replit Agent is a great starting point for a mobile app. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but mobile apps have specific requirements — app store and play store approval and offline functionality and network handling — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Replit Agent leave in mobile apps?
Common issues include: secrets stored in replit environment, no https or security headers, database connection instability. For a mobile app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for app store and play store approval.
How do I make my Replit Agent mobile app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Replit Agent-built mobile apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Replit Agent-built mobile app?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger mobile app projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
