Descriptions:
Chris Raroque shares a detailed update to his solo iOS and web development workflow, centered on tools that allow Claude Code to test apps autonomously. The star of the video is Xcode Build MCP — a free tool from Sentry — which gives Claude Code full control over the iOS simulator: building apps, running them, taking screenshots, tapping UI elements, and pulling Xcode logs. The result is that Raroque rarely opens Xcode anymore; Claude Code handles the entire build-test-fix loop on its own for roughly 20–30 minute stretches. For web, he covers Claude with Chrome, which grants Claude Code a live browser instance with console access, eliminating the manual copy-paste cycle between the browser and the AI.
Raroque also discusses Greptile, an automated code review service he benchmarked against Cursor’s Bugbot across 60 pull requests, finding Greptile noticeably more effective at catching real issues. His current workflow chains Claude Code with Greptile in a loop: Claude iterates on a PR until Greptile scores it a perfect 5 out of 5. A brief segment covers Claude Code’s remote control feature, which lets him hand off an active session to the Claude mobile app when he leaves his desk.
Throughout, Raroque specifies his model setup: Claude Opus 4.7 in max mode handles 70% of his coding via Claude Code, with GPT-5.5 Extra High in Cursor covering the remaining 30%. The video is aimed at developers already familiar with AI coding tools who want to reduce context switching and push toward longer autonomous agent runs.
