A Claude Code skill (also installable as a plugin) providing 27 Python scripts for building, testing, and automating iOS apps via xcodebuild and the iOS Simulator. It optimizes agent workflows with token-efficient build output, accessibility-based UI navigation, and compressed screenshots.
Use cases
- build and test iOS apps from Claude Code with token-efficient output
- automate iOS Simulator UI interaction using accessibility instead of pixel taps
- proxy xcodebuild results to save context in AI agent sessions
- run iOS app UI tests driven by an AI coding agent
- capture and compress simulator screenshots for visual verification
- manage simulator device lifecycle from the command line
When to choose
- you use Claude Code (or similar agents) to develop iOS apps on macOS
- you want to reduce token and context waste from verbose xcodebuild output
- you need robust, accessibility-based simulator UI automation
- you want a script-based skill rather than a full MCP server
When to avoid
- you develop on Linux or Windows - it requires macOS with Xcode
- you need an MCP server interface - use the author's XC-MCP instead
- you only need Xcode build tooling without simulator scripts - use the xclaude-plugin variant
- you don't use AI coding agents and prefer a full IDE workflow
