Overview

This course connects Claude Code with the everyday processes of Mobile Apps. Participants work on realistic scenarios and leave with prompts, workflows and checklists they can use straight away.

Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding assistant, working directly in your terminal and in popular IDEs. Rather than completing individual lines, it reads your repository, plans changes across multiple files, runs commands, executes tests and prepares commits. Over two days you will learn to use it with deliberate control: clear project instructions in CLAUDE.md, careful context management, and a workflow in which you set the direction as a developer and can trace every change the agent makes back to a clear intention.

The course is built around real engineering work: diagnosing bugs, delivering features, refactoring legacy code and filling gaps in test coverage. You will configure subagents for specialised tasks, enforce quality checks with hooks, connect external systems through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and capture team knowledge as reusable skills. Finally, you will run Claude Code headless in CI pipelines and define permissions, sandboxing and approval rules so that its use remains defensible even in security-sensitive environments.

Mobile development spans several worlds: Swift and SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for Android, and cross-platform approaches with Flutter or React Native. On top come store guidelines, device fragmentation, offline capability, push notifications and demanding release processes. AI coding assistants and agents relieve teams of precisely these tasks: they build screens from designs, migrate UIKit or XML layouts to declarative UI frameworks, write UI and unit tests, analyse crash reports and automate build pipelines with Fastlane. Because mobile projects depend heavily on platform conventions, the AI needs precise context on architecture, state management and target platforms. This course shows you how to build that context and verify results on real devices.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Course outline

Day 1

Module 1 How Claude Code works
  • Installation, sign-in and use in the terminal, VS Code and JetBrains IDEs
  • Understanding the agentic loop: read, plan, act, verify
  • Using plan mode to agree on an approach before any code changes
  • Writing effective task briefs with goal, context and acceptance criteria
Module 2 Project context with CLAUDE.md and context management
  • Structuring CLAUDE.md at project, directory and user level
  • Documenting build, test and style conventions so the agent follows them reliably
  • Managing the context window with targeted file references, compaction and fresh sessions
  • Resuming sessions and breaking long tasks into manageable stages
Module 3 Extending Claude Code with subagents, hooks, MCP and skills
  • Defining subagents for code review, research or test generation
  • Using hooks to enforce formatting, linting or checks before and after tool calls
  • Connecting MCP servers for issue trackers, databases or internal documentation
  • Creating custom slash commands and skills for recurring team workflows
Module 4 Git workflows, testing and quality assurance
  • Creating branches, meaningful commits and pull requests with Claude Code
  • Test-first work: have tests written before the implementation
  • Reviewing diffs systematically and rejecting or refining changes
  • Organising parallel work with Git worktrees and multiple sessions

Day 2

Module 5 Headless operation, CI and security
  • Running Claude Code non-interactively in scripts and CI pipelines
  • Automated reviews and issue handling in GitHub or GitLab workflows
  • Configuring permission modes, allow and deny rules, and sandboxing
  • Handling secrets, prompt injection risks and organisation-wide policies
Module 6 Practice lab: Mobile Apps
  • Turning designs into screens
  • Declarative UI migration
  • Testing mobile apps
  • Analysing crash reports
  • Offline capability and data storage
  • Build and release automation
Module 7 Data protection, quality & transfer to daily work
  • Apps often handle sensitive device data such as location, contacts or health information, so generated code must request permissions sparingly and manage consent in line with GDPR. Signing keys, API keys and store credentials do not belong in prompts, and new SDKs and packages should be checked for licensing, tracking behaviour and supply-chain risk.
  • Ground rules for safe AI use in your team
  • Checking results: facts, sources, tests and the four-eyes principle
  • Personal action plan for the next 30 days
  • Open questions, outlook and resources for further learning

Practical scenarios from your field

Turning designs into screens

From screenshots or design specs, the assistant generates SwiftUI, Compose, Flutter or React Native screens that reuse your components, themes and navigation and respect dark mode and dynamic type.

Declarative UI migration

The agent moves UIKit view controllers or Android XML layouts to SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose step by step, wraps legacy parts via interop layers and protects behaviour with snapshot and UI tests.

Testing mobile apps

The AI writes unit tests for view models and repositories, UI tests with XCTest, Espresso or Flutter widget tests, and sets up mocks for networking and persistence.

Analysing crash reports

Symbolicated stack traces from crash reporting services are interpreted, likely causes such as threading or lifecycle issues narrowed down and fixes proposed alongside reproducing tests.

Offline capability and data storage

The assistant designs local persistence with Room, Core Data, SwiftData or SQLite, sync logic with conflict handling and robust networking layers with retries and caching.

Build and release automation

Fastlane lanes, Gradle configuration and CI workflows for builds, signing, beta distribution and store uploads are created or repaired, including versioning and release notes. Expiring certificates are flagged early.

Possible hands-on projects

Stocktake app with barcode scanner

A Flutter or React Native app that scans barcodes, records items offline and syncs them with a REST API once a connection is available.

SwiftUI habit tracker

An iOS app with SwiftUI, local persistence, widgets and local notifications, developed entirely with an AI agent. Habits and progress are displayed in clear charts.

Compose feedback form

An Android app built with Jetpack Compose that captures forms with photo attachments, caches them offline and submits them to a back end – with UI tests.

Prerequisites

You have hands-on programming experience in at least one language and are comfortable with Git and the command line. Hands-on app development experience with Swift, Kotlin, Dart or React Native, plus Xcode or Android Studio and Git.

Technical requirements

Your own laptop with admin rights, Git, a Node.js runtime and an up-to-date editor; a Claude subscription or Anthropic API access is required for the exercises.

Data protection & compliance

Apps often handle sensitive device data such as location, contacts or health information, so generated code must request permissions sparingly and manage consent in line with GDPR. Signing keys, API keys and store credentials do not belong in prompts, and new SDKs and packages should be checked for licensing, tracking behaviour and supply-chain risk.

Frequently asked questions

How is Claude Code different from traditional code completion?

Code completion suggests the next few lines, whereas Claude Code acts as an agent that handles whole tasks: it searches the repository, plans changes across several files, runs tests and commands, and corrects itself based on the results. You define the goal and review the outcome instead of steering every single line yourself.

Is Claude Code secure enough for enterprise use?

By default, Claude Code asks for approval before editing files or running commands. Permission rules, sandboxing, managed settings and hooks let you define precisely what the agent may do. During the course you learn to configure these mechanisms to match your security and data protection requirements and to assess risks such as prompt injection.

Does Claude Code work with my language and tech stack?

Yes. Claude Code is language-agnostic because it works with files, terminal commands and your existing build and test tooling. Whether you use Python, Java, TypeScript, Go, SAP-related code or infrastructure as code, what matters most is a well-written CLAUDE.md describing your commands and conventions. Each course variant adds the relevant domain focus.

Does the course cover iOS, Android and cross-platform equally?

Yes. Working with AI assistants follows the same principles on every platform: provide context, scope tasks and test the results. In the exercises you choose your focus – Swift, Kotlin, Flutter or React Native – and tackle typical tasks for your platform, so mixed teams benefit just as much as specialists.

Can AI work with Xcode and Android Studio?

Many AI assistants can be used inside Android Studio or alongside Xcode, and agents also work from the command line with xcodebuild, Gradle or the Flutter CLI. We show you how to drive builds, tests and simulators so that the agent can check its own results and fix errors iteratively.

How much does “Claude Code for Mobile Developers” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 2 training day(s) with a live trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. Our suggested dates are just a guide. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and confirm within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart or Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.
