APKThe file format for installing Android apps.App ClipAn Apple iOS feature that loads a native app experience on a user's phone from a single link — no App Store download, no TestFlight, no invite code required. App Clips can now be up to 100MB in size.App Clip Side LoadingThe process of delivering a full native app experience through an App Clip container, bypassing the traditional App Store distribution model entirely.App Store ComplianceThe technical and policy requirements Apple and Google impose on apps before they can be listed in the App Store or Play Store: account deletion functionality, data privacy disclosures, restricted API usage policies, content guidelines, and in-app purchase rules. Apps that fail these requirements are rejected and must be revised before resubmission, often adding days or weeks to launch timelines. Woz pre-bakes these requirements into every generated app by default — the result is passing App Store review in an average of one to two rejections, which outperforms many hand-built apps.AuditabilityThe ability for someone else to inspect and verify how an AI system behaved.Auditable LogA tamper-evident record of everything an AI agent accessed and did during a task — required for debugging when agents make mistakes and for compliance in regulated enterprises.AuthenticationVerifying who a user is when they log in. One of the most commonly botched parts of AI-generated apps — and the reason most vibe-coded prototypes are not safe to put in front of real users.B2B data layerPackaging consumer insight as a product sold to brands.
