Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How does axiom-build help fix iOS build failures?
axiom-build equips AI coding assistants with specialized knowledge for Apple OS development to diagnose and resolve iOS build failures and Xcode environment issues. It performs environment-first diagnostics before debugging application code, helping identify root causes like linker errors, missing modules after SPM updates, and dependency conflicts that commonly block builds.
What should I do when Xcode build error linker issues occur?
axiom-build specializes in diagnosing and resolving iOS build failures and Xcode environment issues, including linker errors. The skill routes complex cases like SPM conflicts and dependency graph problems to specialized agents while helping you understand whether the issue stems from your environment configuration, build settings, or actual code dependencies.
How can axiom-build help when simulator won't boot?
axiom-build performs environment-first diagnostics before debugging application code, which is critical when your simulator won't boot. It helps identify Xcode configuration problems and environment misconfigurations that prevent simulator launch, distinguishing these from application-level issues and guiding you toward resolution.
Does axiom-build support TestFlight crash analysis?
Yes, axiom-build analyzes crashes, hangs, and performance issues from TestFlight and App Store environments. It helps you understand crash logs, symbolication, and watchdog timeout patterns so you can identify whether issues are environment-related, dependency-driven, or application code problems before they reach production.
Can axiom-build optimize my build times?
axiom-build addresses build performance optimization by analyzing dependency graph conflicts and resolving issues like stale builds where old code runs despite clean rebuilds. While build time optimization is a secondary focus, the skill helps eliminate common performance blockers tied to environment misconfigurations and incremental build failures.
What's the license for axiom-build?
axiom-build is released under the MIT license, making it freely available for use in both open-source and commercial projects. The skill is designed for Swift 6, SwiftUI, and modern Apple Intelligence workflows to help prevent common pitfalls like memory leaks and failed migrations.
