Development loop
Build, run, test, and profile from one CLI
Drive xcodebuild, simulators, devices, logs, and Instruments through one JSON contract instead of shell glue.
Agent-first Apple automation
One CLI for building, inspecting, growing, and shipping Apple apps.
`xc` wraps Xcode, simulators, SwiftUI previews, UI automation, Apple docs, App Store Connect, analytics, and ASO into one stable JSON contract for developers and coding agents.
Quick Start
Install `xc`, detect project context, launch your app, and run tests with structured output.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/jsj/xc-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh && xc status --json && xc dev run --json && xc quality test --jsonSwiftUI previews
Render previews without opening Xcode
Discover `#Preview` declarations, inject the managed harness, and export deterministic images for agents and CI.
UI automation
Inspect and control apps semantically
Read the accessibility tree, tap controls, type text, assert state, and capture screenshots through stable JSON events.
Shipping + growth
Handle App Store ops and ASO in the same tool
Publish to TestFlight or the App Store, query Apple docs, draft review replies, and track keywords, rankings, and ratings.
Workflow
Move from local iteration to release without leaving the contract.
- 1 Install once, then let `xc status --json` resolve the local Apple tooling context.
- 2 Run `xc dev run --json` or `xc quality test --json` without hand-assembling xcodebuild flags.
- 3 Use `xc preview`, `xc ui`, `xc docs`, `xc insights`, and `xc aso` as the project moves from local debugging to release.
