My wife needed a candle calculator app. I only know Android. So I used Claude Code to build a native iOS app without writing Swift. 19 days, 3 Apple rejections, and 5 hours of certificate hell later—it’s live, it works, and she’s happy.

I went to a meetup in my city last week and a guy I just met there popped a question after a while of conversation: with my experience, would I go for mobile software development again or pick a different area?
