Learn vibe coding by building a mobile app with GitHub, Firebase, Cloudflare, ads, subscriptions, and analytics.
Building an app is easier than ever; turning it into a reliable product that earns money and survives the app stores is the real challenge. This beginner-friendly course guides you from an empty folder to a complete, store-ready app using Claude Code and plain-English instructions, starting on Android, with universal product and monetization principles you can apply directly to iOS.

Course Overview
You will build a polished wallpaper app while learning a workflow you can reuse for almost any mobile product, across both Android and iOS ecosystems. Along the way, you will set up Claude Code, Android Studio, Git, and GitHub; test on a real device; store assets in the cloud; and recover safely when AI makes mistakes. You will add AdMob advertising, a subscription and paywall, onboarding, ratings prompts, push notifications, analytics, crash reporting, remote configuration, and localization. You will also prepare your store listing, sign and inspect the release AAB, complete Google Play policy forms, navigate testing tracks, and publish updates safely.
Unlike courses that stop after generating code, this course focuses on the commercial and operational details that determine whether an app succeeds: monetization, retention, compliance, analytics, acquisition economics, and portfolio growth. Chris explains each step from a designer and entrepreneur's perspective, using real-world lessons from apps that surpassed 100 million downloads.
