Building the Exe.dev iOS App

The author details their experience building and shipping the Exe.dev iOS app from scratch, covering the tech stack, key decisions, and lessons learned throughout the development process.

Background

Exe.dev is a platform/service whose iOS app development journey is being detailed. The post appears to be a technical retrospective on building a native iOS client, likely for a developer-oriented tool or service. Key context the reader may be missing: what Exe.dev actually does (if it's a new or niche service), why building a dedicated iOS app matters for its user base, and any notable technical choices or challenges mentioned in the article (e.g., SwiftUI vs UIKit, architecture decisions, API design). Without the article body, the background brief should be general enough to note that this is a first-hand engineering account from a startup/small team, possibly relevant to readers following iOS development trends, indie app building, or the tool's ecosystem.
