Bitrig (YC S25) – Build Swift Apps on Your iPhone

> We’re ingesting Apple’s SDK frameworks into Bitrig piece by piece. If you try to build something and hit a missing framework, let us know and we’ll prioritize adding it.

Submitted request for WebKit to be added.

In the app I asked it to make, I requested that it use a web view to log into YouTube. The generated app opens a mostly blank screen with no web view, and from what your app told me I think it’s because it’s missing WebKit.

WebKit as a whole might be big, but maybe some subset of it to support web views and get cookies from the web view could be supported?

We’ve gotten a lot of requests for WebKit, so we’ll try to add it soon.

If we hit issues we can try to pull in just a subset, but one nice thing about Swift is the frameworks have .swiftinterface files which list all the APIs in them, so we’ve generally been able to pull in whole frameworks at a time.
