Talks Delivered

"I've seen talented developers struggle because they thought AI was 'not for them.' And I've seen others, no smarter, completely transform how they build because they learned to work with AI."

I've spent 10+ years building Android apps, wrote books, created open source libraries used by 70,000+ developers, gave local and international talks and workshops including TEDx, and mass-wasted hours figuring out what actually works. This workshop is everything I wish existed when I started.

It's the shortcut I never had.

Building mobile apps in public at #shipkaro and teaching others to do the same. My motto: shipped > perfect.

— Wajahat

What We'll Build Together

From "I have an idea" to "It's live on Play Store" in one weekend.

Day 1 · Friday

What Idea to Build?

lightbulb
  • check_circleFind a micro-SaaS idea worth building — solve your own pain, undercut a big app, or add AI to a boring task
  • check_circlePakistan-friendly monetization & payment gateways (no Stripe needed)
  • check_circleAI coding foundations: Claude Code vs Cursor/Copilot, agents vs vibe-coding tech debt
  • check_circlePick your stack: Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, Supabase/Firebase, Figma & AI for design
  • check_circleASO keyword research — right inside Claude Code
Your homework

Set up the Kit & environment, research your keywords, sketch a few screen mockups, and create your Google Play account.

Day 2 · Saturday

Build & Publish

terminal
  • check_circleThe shape of a real mobile app — idea to shipped, step by step
  • check_circleBuild screen by screen with NowKit — clone it, rename it, make it yours via kit-* commands
  • check_circleWire real functionality with Claude Code
  • check_circleConnect Supabase & Google Play
  • check_circleRevenueCat paywall & subscriptions — get ready to charge
Your homework

Build your app’s functionality, connect Google Play & RevenueCat, and set up your paywall.

Day 3 · Sunday

How to Grow & Earn

rocket_launch
  • check_circleRelease on Google Play: testing tracks, staged rollouts, pre-register, ANRs
  • check_circleHarden the backend: Supabase RLS & billing safety (Firebase / RevenueCat / PostHog caps)
  • check_circleAnalytics & experiments with PostHog — funnels, feature flags, session replays
  • check_circleThe launch playbook: before launch, launch day, post launch
  • check_circleMarketing & build-in-public: Product Hunt, Reddit, socials — plus the road to $1k MRR
Your homework

Hit submit — walk away with your app live on Google Play and a plan to grow it.

emoji_events Aug–Sept 2026 · RevenueCat Shipaton

Submit your new app to win Shipaton.

Shipaton is RevenueCat's global hackathon — $700k+ in prizes for apps shipped to the stores, plus a students-only Next Gen award. You leave the cohort with exactly that: a live app with RevenueCat already wired in via NowKit. Build it here. Compete there.

Shipaton is run by RevenueCat — dates & rules live on their site. We just get you ship-ready.

Real Apps. Real Stores.

Students don't leave with a tutorial folder — they leave with an app on the App Store or Google Play. Here's what last cohort shipped.

Is This For You?

No fluff. Let's be honest about who gets the most out of this weekend.

check_circle

This is for you if…

  • doneYou want to learn how to build mobile apps & SaaS, not just learn theory
  • doneYou're a professional, or student who's tired of half-finished vibe coded side projects
  • doneYou know coding or not. It doesn't matter. You want to build mobile and web apps.
  • doneYou want a real app live on Google Play — with your name on it.
  • doneYou want to build with AI tools instead of typing every line yourself
cancel

Skip it if…

  • closeYou want to watch recordings and never actually build (this is live & hands-on)
  • closeYou're looking for a passive "get rich overnight" course — shipping is real work
  • closeYou can't commit 3 evenings (Fri–Sun, 8 PM–12 AM PKT) to actually finish.
  • closeYou never plan to publish anything — you just like collecting tutorials.

Invest One Weekend, Ship Forever

Everything you need to go from zero to published — in a single workshop.

group 29 People Joined Cohort 4

One weekend.
One app.

I've wasted mass hours figuring out app store compliance forms, payment integrations, and why builds get rejected. You don't have to. Spend one weekend with me and leave with a published app and the skills to ship the next 10.

★ Featured

I came to ShipKaro to watch. I left building. Ten-plus years as a PM, 50+ apps managed, and I’d never shipped one of my own. By the end of the weekend I had enCORE running, an app I’d only ever written about. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to build, this is the push.

Got Questions?

Can I pay with a local bank transfer?

Yes. Transfer to my local bank account, then fill this form with your payment screenshot to confirm your seat.

Do I need coding experience?

You don’t need to be a pro. If you can read basic code and you’re comfortable in a terminal, you’re ready — AI writes most of the code, you steer it. Past cohorts included non-devs who still shipped real apps. We handle the rest together.

When and where is it?

Online on Google Meet — dates coming soon (Fri–Sun), 8 PM–12 AM PKT each night. Three live online evenings you can join from anywhere.

What do I need to join?

A laptop, stable internet, and a Google account. Thanks to our NowKit you don’t even need Android Studio — we build from the terminal with Claude Code. You can use your preferred AI agent too. We’ll send a short setup checklist (Node, Git, Claude Code, accounts) before first day.

Will my app actually get published?

That’s the whole point. You submit to Google Play during the weekend if you finish all the assignments in the time. Review times vary, but you finish with a real, submitted build and know exactly how to track it to live.

What kind of app will I build?

Your own. I’ll show you how to find ideas worth building — solve your own pain, undercut a big app, or add AI to something boring. You leave with a real app you chose, not a tutorial clone everyone else has.

Can I build an iOS app too?

We build with Android Native in this session and we publish to Google Play together in the workshop. The NowKit currently supports Android Native, but it's adding iOS, Flutter and Web support soon, then you can ship the same app to the App Store or on web too afterwards.

Do I need to pay for tools or API keys?

Two things: a Google Play developer account ($25, one-time) and an AI coding subscription. We use Claude Code, but the same workflow works with Cursor, Antigravity, Codex and others.

Is there any guarantee or refund?

The first student to launch a complete app on Google Play gets a full refund. And everyone keeps the session recordings plus lifetime access to the NowKit and all further updates.

What if I can’t make it live?

All 3 sessions are recorded and shared, so you can follow along later. That said, joining live — and shipping alongside the group — is where the magic really happens.

Only 25 seats — why so few?

So everyone gets personal attention. This is a build-together session, not a lecture. A small group means your questions actually get answered and your app actually gets shipped.

I didn’t get my confirmation email?

After you pay, check your spam/junk folder first — it sometimes lands there. Still nothing? Reach out and we’ll sort it out instantly.

How do I contact you?

Reach out at my email or DM me on LinkedIn, or just reply to any email from us. We’re quick to respond.

Stop thinking.
Start shipping.
