Create and manage apps

Create a new SwiftUI app from Home or from Apps, open an existing Xcode project, and reopen recent work from your project library.

Create a new app

You can create a new app in one of two ways: from Home by describing your idea, or from Apps when you want more control over the details.

1
From Home: open Home and describe your app idea in the prompt. Koda chooses a name from your description and immediately starts developing.
From Home, describe the app in plain language. Koda names it, builds a roadmap, and starts developing right away.
2
From Apps: open Apps and select Create New Project. Enter the App name yourself, describe the app, and set optional details such as bundle identifier, development team, output directory, and project type.
From Apps, Create New Project lets you set the name and other details, including whether agents should start building immediately.
3
On the Apps create form, choose whether Start building immediately is checked. Leave it on so agents begin development right after the project is created, or turn it off to create the project first and start later.
4
Select Create Project. Keep Koda open while it writes the initial plan and project files when building starts.
5
After the project is created by either route, Koda lays out an App Roadmap with requirements and other work items. The Supervisor uses that roadmap to guide development, keeps each item’s status up to date, and decides when work is done. You can also edit the roadmap yourself at any time—see Develop your app for how statuses and Edit work day to day.
The App Roadmap lists requirements and work items. The Supervisor tracks each item’s status, and you can select Edit to change the plan yourself.

1
From Apps, select Open Project….
2
Choose an .xcworkspace when the project uses one; otherwise choose its .xcodeproj file.
3
Koda adds the project to Apps and opens its workspace.

On Apps, use the search box to find an app by name.
Select Open in Chat on an app to keep building it in the workspace.
Select the rocket button to open Deploy and prepare that app for the App Store.
Open the app’s settings page for its Apple signing team and connected services.
The Active project label at the top shows which app Koda is using right now.
