The piece covers the existing Previews feature (URL-based ephemeral builds tied to PRs, contrasted with nightly builds), planned improvements to build speed and cost, an upcoming Tuist Development SDK for capturing contextual feedback (traces, navigation paths, logs, session recordings), and a forward-looking loop combining CI, AI code feedback, and AI runtime feedback. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Tuist Previews and how does it work for sharing iOS app builds? Tuist Previews is a feature that lets developers build an app with xcodebuild, Fastlane, or another tool, then run a single command, tuist share App, to generate a shareable URL. Anyone with the URL can install the preview by tapping it or pasting it into a terminal with the CLI installed, and Tuist automatically correlates the preview with its originating pull request. _Teams weighing preview and CI tooling for mobile PR workflows can track these updates on daily.dev._ ### How is Tuist Previews different from nightly builds for testing app changes? Previews are tied directly to a pull request and generated immediately after code changes, while nightly builds are distant in time and space from the code that produced them, making it hard to correlate feedback with a specific change. Previews let reviewers give feedback in context at the PR level rather than discovering issues days later in an arbitrary build number. _Developers comparing preview environments to nightly build practices can follow this discussion on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Toss: Building less to ship faster](https://daily.dev/posts/toss-building-less-to-ship-faster-1arhtus0n) · Tuist · 4 upvotes · 0 comments - [Designing with Prompts: AI Powered Frontend Development and Its Next Step](https://daily.dev/posts/designing-with-prompts-ai-powered-frontend-development-and-its-next-step-d6nsssugc) · iO tech\_hub · 27 upvotes · 1 comments - [The new Tuist, from build toolchains to bare metal](https://daily.dev/posts/the-new-tuist-from-build-toolchains-to-bare-metal-waw3c6jvd) · Tuist · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Developer Productivity in the Age of AI: Why Your Past Predicts Your Future](https://daily.dev/posts/developer-productivity-in-the-age-of-ai-why-your-past-predicts-your-future-eyerbukx2) · OctopusDeploy · 5 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#ios](https://daily.dev/tags/ios), [#cicd](https://daily.dev/tags/cicd), [#xcode](https://daily.dev/tags/xcode) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-app-development-tuist-previews-in-an-ai-powered-world-0istu6zwg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"The Future of App Development: Tuist Previews in an AI-Powered World","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-app-development-tuist-previews-in-an-ai-powered-world-0istu6zwg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-app-development-tuist-previews-in-an-ai-powered-world-0istu6zwg"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:23:41.166Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:56:08.141Z","description":"Tuist's founder lays out a vision for how Tuist Previews will evolve to fit an AI-driven development workflow, where agents generate PRs and humans (or AI)...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/33242282945538de6144db390e0ae223?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/33242282945538de6144db390e0ae223?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"\n Tuist\n ","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"\n Tuist\n ","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--3AYDH23h--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487506/logos/tuist-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tuist-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-app-development-tuist-previews-in-an-ai-powered-world-0istu6zwg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ios,cicd,xcode","timeRequired":"PT6M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"\n Tuist\n ","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tuist-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"The Future of App Development: Tuist Previews in an AI-Powered World"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-app-development-tuist-previews-in-an-ai-powered-world-0istu6zwg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Tuist Previews and how does it work for sharing iOS app builds?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Tuist Previews is a feature that lets developers build an app with xcodebuild, Fastlane, or another tool, then run a single command, tuist share App, to generate a shareable URL.
