Can I use this for macOS, watchOS, or visionOS apps?

Yes, the configurator supports all major Apple platforms including iOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

Does this skill install the xcodebuildmcp binary?

The skill checks for the binary and provides installation instructions via Homebrew or npm if it's missing, but it does not perform the system-level installation automatically.

How do I modify my existing XcodeBuildMCP settings?

Simply run the skill with the 'edit' argument to interactively update your schemes, simulators, or workflows without manually editing the YAML file.

What is XcodeBuildMCP?

It is a tool that allows AI models like Claude to interact with Xcode's build system, simulators, and testing tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Do I need to have Xcode installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires Xcode and its command-line tools (xcodebuild and xcrun) to be installed on your macOS system to detect project settings and devices.
