iOS AI dev workflow: AppKit + Figma import + Claude Opus 5 gives best UI fidelity
dotey · x · 2026-09-14
Blogger dotey shares his recommended iOS AI development stack: choose AppKit over SwiftUI, import Figma into Claude Design (Opus 5 suffices), then use Fable to build from the design output for very high UI fidelity; after v1, iterate with GPT or Opus 5.
Context: a quoted thread complains about the current iOS coding model landscape — Grok performing poorly, GPT-6 expensive, and Figma imports hitting rate limits mid-task on the Astra Medium tier.
