iOS apps now build automatically, every time

Your iPhone app builds no longer get stuck or fail after the first couple of attempts. Automated iOS builds now work reliably, so you can publish updates without manual intervention.

  • iOS app builds no longer stall or get permanently blocked after repeated runs
  • Publish updates to your iPhone app as often as you need — no manual steps required
  • Automated publishing pipelines for iOS now work end-to-end without hitting Apple account limits

Smoother build preview on iPhone — no more endless 'Checking your preview'

iPhone users were sometimes getting stuck on a 'Checking your preview' loading screen that never resolved. That loop is now fixed and previews load reliably on mobile.

  • iPhone and Safari users no longer get stuck waiting for a preview that never appears
  • Previews now detect correctly whether your app is ready, even on mobile
Improved Link

Build progress screen is polished and clear from first to last second

The screen you see while your app is building got a thorough polish pass — the timer now starts ticking immediately, the build log scrolls smoothly, and nothing jumps or flickers.

  • The elapsed timer starts right away instead of appearing frozen at 0:00
  • The build log scrolls automatically and fades cleanly at the top edge — no cut-off text
  • Layout stays stable as new information appears, so nothing jumps around
Fixed Link

Clicking your idea on the intro page actually works now

A bug was causing the idea input on the first screen to ignore clicks in certain situations. Tapping or clicking the text box now works every time, on every device.

  • The idea input on the opening screen reliably accepts your click or tap
  • No more having to click multiple times or switch to a different browser
Improved Link

The animated intro experience now works great on phones

The full scrolling intro — including the cinematic cube view — now plays natively on portrait phone screens instead of falling back to a lesser experience.

  • Phone visitors now see the full intro experience in proper portrait layout
  • The cinematic scroll and transitions are optimized for your screen size automatically
Fixed Link

Intro scroll ends cleanly — no more flash at the bottom

Scrolling all the way through the intro page used to cause a brief visual flash at the very end. The final frame now holds steady with no flicker.

  • The intro page ends on a clean, stable frame no matter how far you scroll
  • Scroll hints appear and fade naturally rather than looping indefinitely

Uploading large files now fails fast — no more mystery spinners

When you attach files that are too large, OverSkill now tells you immediately — before spending any of your build credits or making you wait. No more staring at a loading screen only to get an error.

  • Oversized file attachments are rejected the moment you upload them, not after your credits are already used
  • You get a clear error right away so you can swap in a smaller file and keep building
  • Protects your credit balance from being consumed by uploads that were never going to work
Fixed Link

Special characters in your app's data no longer cause crashes

Content containing symbols like © or other special characters — common in scraped text, pasted content, or documents — previously caused your app's data tools to crash. That's fixed, and all data operations now handle these characters reliably.

  • Reading, inserting, updating, searching, and deleting records all work correctly with special characters
  • Pasted or imported content with symbols no longer breaks your app's data layer
  • No action needed — existing apps benefit automatically
Fixed Link

Checkout errors on launch day are now far less likely

When multiple people hit your app's checkout at once — like during a launch or QA pass — some users were seeing a 'Plan not found' error that cleared on refresh. We've made the checkout flow much more resilient to bursts of traffic.

  • Checkout pages handle launch-day traffic spikes without dropping into error states
  • Users who hit checkout simultaneously no longer trigger false 'plan not found' failures
  • Refreshing to recover from a stuck checkout is now a thing of the past
Improved Link

The AI builder now fixes your app's bugs instead of filing tickets

When the AI encountered an error in your generated app, it used to open a support ticket — meaning you'd wait for a response instead of getting an instant fix. Now the AI resolves those issues on the spot, right inside your build session.

  • Build and runtime errors in your app are fixed in real time by the AI, not queued as support tickets
  • Fewer interruptions to your building flow — problems get handled without leaving the editor
  • Support tickets are now reserved for genuine platform issues, keeping response times faster for everyone
Fixed Link

Deploys are now more reliable — even during platform updates

In rare cases, a platform update happening mid-deploy could mark your deployment as failed even when it was actually succeeding. Deploys now recover gracefully and complete as expected.

  • Your app deploys are no longer disrupted by background platform maintenance
  • In-progress deployments resume automatically instead of being cancelled
  • You'll see accurate deployment status rather than false failure messages
Improved Link

Login page design is cleaner and fully on-brand

The sign-in and sign-up pages got a polish pass — OAuth buttons (Google, Apple, GitHub) now appear in the correct neutral style, and outdated 'free during beta' messaging has been removed.

  • Sign-in buttons look consistent and professional across all login options
  • No more confusing 'free during beta' copy that no longer applies
  • Card shadows and styling now match the finalized OverSkill v2 design
Fixed Link

Status badges and UI labels are now the correct brand green

Some status indicators and badge labels were showing an off-brand purple color. Everything is now consistently styled in OverSkill's signature green.

  • Status labels like 'Check status' no longer appear in an unexpected purple color
  • Badge and state colors are now consistent across your entire app-building experience
  • The fix applies everywhere — no stray purple anywhere in the interface
Fixed Link

AI builder now works correctly with the Kimi model

A compatibility issue was causing the Kimi AI model to return tokenization errors, preventing it from generating app content. That's resolved and Kimi-powered builds work reliably again.

  • Builds using the Kimi model no longer fail with cryptic tokenization errors
  • All AI models available in OverSkill now behave consistently
  • No changes needed on your end — existing projects using Kimi will work correctly
Improved Link

Plan step cards in the AI editor got a visual polish

The collapsible plan cards shown while the AI builds your app now look cleaner — no background tint, a full-width divider when expanded, and a tidier look when collapsed.

  • Plan cards blend more naturally into the editor without the distracting accent background
  • Expanded plan steps have a clean full-width divider line for better readability
  • Collapsed cards look minimal and uncluttered
