CatDoes v4.8.0
CatDoes now builds mobile apps on Expo SDK 57 with support for Liquid Glass, has a new look, and lets you install development builds on your own iPhone or iPad.
New
Expo SDK 57 and Liquid Glass - New mobile apps start on Expo SDK 57 with a new native design system, UI components, and support for Liquid Glass on iOS. Existing apps can ask the agent to upgrade.
A New Look - User dashboard is updated with a new design language, and improved support on mobile.
Test on Your Own Device - Ask for a development or preview build, and the agent sends a link to register your iPhone or iPad. Share the same link with your testers.
Screenshot Markup - Draw, add text, and crop a screenshot of your preview, then attach it to your message or download it.
Connect Your Expo Account - Connect your Expo account once, and CatDoes uses it for mobile previews and app builds.
Improvements
Watch 2.0, with errors and API keys for each app in your project, more accurate stack traces, and support for Expo 57
Phone sign-in with Twilio, with credentials entered in a secure field
Redesigned phone preview panel on desktop
New image viewer for images in the chat
Search your projects by name
Set your name and avatar in Settings
Updated phone models in the preview's screen size picker, with support for iPhone 18 Pro, Pixel 11, and Samsung S26
The login page remembers how you last logged in
The agent creates secret values itself and keeps them matched between your backend functions and your database
Backend functions are checked before they deploy and verified after by the agent
Fixes
Phone sign-in could be turned on without an SMS provider, so verification codes failed
iOS builds could stop when no test device was selected
iOS builds and App Store submissions failed with an Apple sign-in error
iOS ad hoc builds could stall on provisioning profile
v4.7.0
Sep 6, 2026
CatDoes v4.7.0
CatDoes now lets you type @ to point the agent at any file and lets you browse and edit your project's files from your phone.
New
@ File References - Type @ in the chat box to point the agent to a file or folder. Files the agent mentions are linked too, so you can open them in one click.
Files on Mobile - Open the Files tab on your phone, tap a file, then tap Edit to change it.
Support Reply Emails - When the CatDoes team replies to your ticket, you get an email that takes you back to your project to read it.
Improvements
The agent never removes an API key or makes it optional on its own. It asks first, and you decide for each key.
Redesigned Environment Variables panel
Messages that fail to send are retried, and undelivered ones are marked
Fixes
Improved preview recovery, so it reconnects to your app on its own
Improved chat syncing
The stop button didn't always stop the agent
GitHub pushes could fail after you approved them
Switching between apps in the preview failed on new projects
v4.6.0
Aug 20, 2026
CatDoes v4.6.0
CatDoes now sets up Google and Apple sign-in with just a Client ID and catches missing API keys before release builds.
New
Simpler Google and Apple Sign-In - Turning on Google or Apple sign-in for your app only takes a Client ID. No client secret or redirect URL needed.
Release Build Key Check - Before an App Store or Google Play build, CatDoes checks that your app's API keys have values and asks you to add any that are missing.
Smarter Preview - When your app uses a native library that can't run in the browser, the preview names it and offers to open your app in Expo Go.
Improvements
Smoother scrolling and streaming in long chats
Support for custom build profiles in eas.json
Using CatDoes on your phone? The screen that opens your app in Expo Go has a new improved design.
Watch error pop-ups show how long ago the error happened
The agent asks before running the App Store readiness check, since it uses credits
Refresh buttons in the Cloud tab
Fixes
Google sign-in could fail its nonce check in Cloud apps
iOS and Android builds occasionally failed
Reloading the page mid-task could leave the chat stuck instead of reconnecting
Custom email setup for Cloud Auth could report success when it had failed
The Expo Go notice also appeared for websites
