Does this skill require Xcode to be installed?

Yes, while the skill interacts with your project via the command line, it requires the Xcode command-line tools and SDKs to compile Swift code and run the iOS Simulator.

Can I use this for UIKit projects or just SwiftUI?

The skill is proficient in both SwiftUI and UIKit, allowing for professional native development across various architectural patterns.

How does Claude verify that the app actually works?

Following the 'Prove, Don't Promise' principle, Claude runs xcodebuild to verify the build, executes unit tests for logic, and launches the app in the simulator for visual confirmation.

Can this skill help me submit to the App Store?

Yes, it includes specific workflows for optimization, asset management, and the shipping process required for App Store or TestFlight submission.

Mobile Development

Builds professional native iPhone apps using Swift and SwiftUI through a CLI-only workflow without needing the Xcode IDE.

This skill transforms Claude into a senior iOS developer focused on building, debugging, and shipping native iPhone applications. It employs a 'Prove, Don't Promise' methodology, using command-line tools like xcodebuild and simctl to verify logic through tests and visual verification in the iOS Simulator. Designed for a product-owner/developer relationship, it manages the full app lifecycle—from initial scaffolding to performance optimization and App Store readiness—while providing outcome-based reporting instead of technical jargon.
