## What it is
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
