Do I need to open the Xcode GUI to use this skill?

No, this skill is designed for a CLI-only workflow, utilizing xcodebuild and simctl to manage the build, test, and launch processes directly from the terminal.

Does this skill support modern iOS features?

Yes, it targets modern iOS versions including iOS 18 compatibility, utilizing current best practices for Swift and SwiftUI.

How does the skill ensure code quality?

It follows a 'Prove, Don't Promise' principle, meaning Claude automatically runs builds and tests after every change to verify correctness before reporting back to you.

Can I use this for both SwiftUI and UIKit projects?

Absolutely. The skill contains domain-specific guidance for both modern SwiftUI declarative patterns and traditional UIKit imperative architectures.

Can Claude help me ship to the App Store?

Yes, the skill includes dedicated workflows for preparing releases, managing TestFlight, and handling the App Store submission process.
