Can I deploy to a physical iPhone or iPad?

Absolutely. The skill uses xcrun devicectl to install and launch applications directly on connected physical iOS devices.

Is it compatible with both macOS and iOS targets?

Yes, it provides optimized paths for both: building Release versions for macOS and Debug versions for iOS development.

Does this skill support xcodegen?

Yes, it automatically detects project.yml files and runs xcodegen to generate the project before initiating the build process.

How does it handle build errors?

The skill monitors xcodebuild output in real-time, filters for errors and warnings, and stops the deployment if the build fails, reporting the specific issues to you.

Mobile Development

Automates the end-to-end process of building and deploying Xcode projects to macOS and iOS devices in a single step.

The Xcode Build & Deploy skill streamlines the Apple development workflow by automating complex terminal sequences into cohesive commands. It intelligently detects project structures—supporting both standard .xcodeproj files and xcodegen-based configurations—and handles project generation, compilation, and deployment. Whether you are targeting a local macOS application or a physical iOS device, this skill manages the full lifecycle including code signing configurations, installation via devicectl, and application launching, making it ideal for rapid iterative testing on hardware.
