Hey, thanks for the feedback. This is expected behavior in the iOS app right now, but there’s a known limitation.
The repo picker on mobile refreshes the list every time you reopen the repo selection sheet, and also on app relaunch. But because of backend caching, a newly created repo may not show up right away, sometimes up to about 30 minutes. There’s no manual force refresh button on iOS yet like the Refresh repositories button on web and desktop. That’s the gap you’re calling out.
A couple things to check if the repo never shows up:
- If your GitHub App is installed in Only select repositories mode, the new repo won’t appear anywhere, not on iOS, web, or desktop, until you add it to the Cursor GitHub App installation or switch to All repositories.
- Make sure the repo is visible on cursor.com. If it’s not there, it’s a GitHub App settings issue, not an iOS issue.
I’ve noted the request for refresh-on-open and a manual refresh option, it’s on our radar. I can’t share an ETA yet. The same request was raised in this thread: iOS app doesn’t show new repos
