How does the skill handle multiple connected devices?

The skill uses JSON-based device discovery to extract unique UDIDs, ensuring that commands like app installation or log streaming are directed to the correct simulator instance.

Does this skill handle app signing and provisioning profiles?

While the skill can assist with build flags, it is generally recommended to manage complex code signing and provisioning through the Xcode IDE or specialized tools like fastlane.

Can I run UI tests on specific simulator models?

Yes, the skill provides commands to identify specific simulator UDIDs and target them for XCUITest execution using the xcodebuild utility.

Do I need Xcode installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires native Xcode command-line tools (xcodebuild and xcrun) to be installed on your macOS system to function.

Mobile Development

Automates iOS and macOS application lifecycles using native xcodebuild and simctl command-line tools.

Acerca de

This skill empowers Claude to manage the complete development workflow for Apple platforms directly through the terminal. It provides specialized knowledge for building applications, managing simulator instances, running unit and UI tests, and capturing debug logs using native tools like xcodebuild and xcrun simctl. It is particularly useful for developers working in headless environments, setting up CI/CD pipelines, or those who prefer a command-line-first approach to Apple ecosystem development without relying on the Xcode IDE interface.
