Caveat: I have zero coding experience so everything is vibe coded. The app front end and back end are completely built, and I always experience the most issues when CC is trying to get the app into Simulator or TestFlight. In Simulator, something broke down and it took 15+ tries in the Terminal in order for me to see the app instead of error codes. CC identifies the issue and tries again when it doesn’t work. Rinse and repeat 15+ times. Same thing trying to build it and have it open in TestFlight. Every time it sounds like CC found the issue and confidently has a solution, but it just leads to another break. Is this normal? For a non-technical person, I am confused as how it is seems completely lost and fixing one thing leads to another thing breaking, and again and again. Do I need to give it different direction or is there another issue? I compact when it says 50-80% of usage for the conversation to save tokens - is this causing more issues? Some insight would be appreciated – I have zero experience with Terminal and can only paste in what CC gives me. I feel like I use 80% of my token usage on running Terminal commands so I can even see the app… submitted by /u/Wild-Eagle8105
