OpenAI Codex Build iOS Apps: Run, Preview, Hot Reload in One Place
Codex Build iOS Apps plugin runs iOS apps in Codex, opens SwiftUI Preview, and hot reloads changes—ending the copy-paste, build, screenshot loop.
OpenAI has removed one of the most annoying stages of iOS development. No more copy-paste → build → screenshot loop. Now the agent sees the result of its work immediately after changes.
The new Codex Build iOS Apps plugin can:
→ run the app right inside Codex
→ open SwiftUI Preview
→ apply changes via hot reload
No switching between the IDE, the simulator, and the chat.
