"The surge in new app submissions to the App Store is primarily due to vibe coding, a method that allows users to describe software needs in plain language, which is then converted into code by AI."
"Apple's review infrastructure is struggling to keep up with the influx of new apps, leading to approval times extending from 24 hours to as much as 30 days."
"The tools enabling this boom, such as Cursor, have transformed the app development landscape, allowing non-technical users to create applications easily and rapidly."
Vibe coding tools have caused an 84% surge in new app submissions to Apple's App Store, the largest increase in a decade. Approval times have increased significantly, from 24 hours to as long as 30 days. The rise is attributed to platforms that convert natural language into software, with Cursor achieving over $2 billion in revenue. The total number of new app submissions in 2025 reached 557,000, marking the highest annual total since 2016, driven by the mainstream adoption of vibe coding.
