Publish to TestFlight from chat, GitHub and social sign-in on the desktop app, marketing video previews, mobile companion, and more
New features
- Publish to TestFlight from chat — You can now hand off an iOS build to TestFlight directly from a chat message, without leaving the conversation. See Deployment.
-
Newly desktop app — The new macOS desktop app picked up a big batch of capabilities this week:
- Sign in with Clerk, including Google and other social providers.
- Connect a GitHub repo to push code from desktop projects.
- A new agent activity view that visualizes workflow runs and the agent’s task list inside chat.
- A styled DMG installer with a refreshed squircle app icon.
- Mobile companion — Start a chat on desktop and pick it up on your phone. Sessions now sync between the desktop app and the Newly mobile companion.
- Marketing video previews — The Marketing Studio agent can now generate short marketing video previews alongside screenshots and copy.
- Separate account tabs for Apple, Google Play, and Expo — The project view splits store credentials into dedicated tabs so it’s clear which account is connected to which platform. See Deployment.
- Usage tab for free users — Free accounts with granted prompts now see a usage tab so you can track remaining prompts at a glance.
Updates
- Smoother first-run experience on macOS — Fresh-Mac installs of the desktop app now ship with a self-contained toolchain, harder sidecar startup, and an Install Xcode call-to-action when Xcode is missing, so a brand-new Mac can build apps without manual setup.
Bug fixes
- Fixed TestFlight publishing on fresh desktop installs that previously failed with an
ENOENTerror. - Fixed Android APK builds that intermittently failed to resolve the project root.
- Fixed the Modal status indicator to query the status page directly so operational state is reported accurately.
