Build Premium AI Apps for FREE Using OpenCode | Complete Guide
In this complete step-by-step guide, I show you how to build a premium AI-powered mobile app completely FREE using OpenCode — the open-source AI coding agent. We start from zero, set up the entire mobile app development environment, then use OpenCode to build and run a real React Native app ("Showcase AI", a community platform for AI projects) on a physical Android device.
What you'll learn:
• How to set up your mobile app dev environment from scratch
• How to build the app using OpenCode
• How to run and test the finished app on your phone
Steps covered:
Installing Node.js and verifying the install
Installing OpenCode (npm i -g opencode-ai)
Connecting an AI model/provider inside OpenCode (/connect, /models)
Setting up VS Code and creating a React Native project
Installing Android Studio + the Android SDK
Installing Java (JDK 17) and configuring environment variables (JAVA_HOME, PATH, platform-tools)
Verifying ADB
Enabling Developer Options + Wireless debugging and pairing your phone (adb pair)
Building the app with OpenCode (DeepSeek V4 Flash) and running it via npx react-native run-android
