A Neovim plugin that lets developers build, run, debug, and test Apple-platform applications (iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS) without leaving Neovim. It wraps official tools like xcodebuild and xcrun simctl, adding test explorers, code coverage, SwiftUI previews, and nvim-dap debugging integration.

Use cases

• build and run iOS apps from Neovim
• debug Swift apps on simulators and devices without Xcode
• run unit tests and view results in Neovim
• manage Xcode project files from the editor
• view code coverage reports in Neovim
• replace Xcode with Neovim for Swift development
• test Swift Packages from the terminal

When to choose

• you develop iOS/macOS/watchOS apps but prefer Neovim over Xcode
• you want Xcode-like build, test, and debug workflows inside a terminal editor
• you already use nvim-dap, nvim-tree, or lualine and want Xcode integration

When to avoid

• you need Interface Builder or full Xcode GUI features
• you don't develop for Apple platforms
• you use an editor other than Neovim
