I Let One AI Agent Ship My Entire iOS Portfolio. Here's What Broke.

Over the last two weeks, a single Claude Code agent - operating with my approval only at four "hard gates" (Apple Developer enrollment, payment info, App final-acceptance, and any third rejection of the same app) - has scaffolded, polished, and prepared four iOS apps for the App. Total human time investment: probably 4 hours of decisions plus the time to read this post. The apps share an identity: every one is offline-first, ships a one-time IAP at $2.99, has zero analytics SDKs, and runs on a Privacy Manifest that is verifiable from the source code.
