Apple blocks Replit updates over previews

This feels like a policy fight disguised as a UI nit. Apple is drawing a line around in-app code execution, and browser-native AI builders are paying the price for being too good at shipping.

• –If Apple sticks with this interpretation, preview UX becomes a compliance surface, not just a product choice.
• –Replit can keep shipping by pushing previews outside the app, but that adds friction right where “prompt to app” needs to feel magical.
• –The ruling favors web-first builders that already keep previews external, like v0-style workflows.
• –It also highlights a strategic clash: Apple is adding AI coding features to Xcode while constraining competing app-building tools.
