Saw this announced today with the app store update announcement. Will definitely be signing up. Seems like one of the best integrations so far. Pretty clean going from Replit to App Store testflight. > **[Mobile App Buildathon - Win $10k and iPhone 17 Pro Max](https://mobile-buildathon.replit.app/)** > > Submit your mobile app for a chance to win $10k and a new iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Interesting, but I don’t really need it for my current projects, so I won’t test it for now. Let’s see what other Replit users say about it. ---

Hey everyone! 👋 Jumping into the Mobile Buildathon. I’m testing on an Android 16 device (latest build) and seeing the known icon rendering bug (icons showing as letters/boxes) specifically when previewing via Expo Go. I’ve tried clearing the Expo Go cache and re-scanning, but the issue persists on both my phone Pixel 8 and a Galaxy Tab. Is there a specific app.json config or a font-preloading snippet the Replit Agent should use to satisfy the Android 16 canvas renderer? Excited to be here! ---

Tried but stuck at the TestFlight part and didn’t know have to drop a hundred dollars to participate in something I may or may not have a chance of winning ---

Have you tested the app in Expo go yet? I haven’t ever tried TestFlight, I have applied for the apple developer account tonight, so hopefully will be able to test test flight soon! ---

I’ll probably build out that writing app I started. Good luck everyone!
