AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What does ce-test-xcode do for iOS app testing?
ce-test-xcode streamlines iOS development by automating simulator-based testing, screenshot generation, and log aggregation in a single workflow. It reduces manual testing overhead and captures the artifacts you need for debugging and validation, letting you iterate faster on your iOS apps.
Can ce-test-xcode build and test iOS apps on simulator?
Yes. ce-test-xcode builds, installs, and tests iOS apps on the simulator with automated screenshots and log capture. It automates the entire workflow—from build through simulator boot to error detection—so you can verify app behavior across key screens without manual intervention.
How does ce-test-xcode capture simulator logs and screenshots?
ce-test-xcode automatically captures and analyzes simulator logs and screenshots during your testing workflow. These artifacts are aggregated and made available for debugging, allowing you to review app behavior and troubleshoot issues without manually collecting them from the simulator.
What is the xcode build test MCP workflow in ce-test-xcode?
ce-test-xcode uses XcodeBuildMCP automation to verify iOS app behavior across key screens. The workflow integrates build, simulator boot, testing, and artifact collection into a single automated process, eliminating repetitive manual steps and enabling consistent, repeatable test runs.
Is ce-test-xcode suitable for automated iOS testing workflows?
Yes. ce-test-xcode is built for engineers who need faster iteration cycles and automated testing. It handles the full iOS testing workflow—build, install, test, and artifact capture—making it ideal for continuous integration, rapid prototyping, and reducing manual testing overhead.
What license does ce-test-xcode use?
ce-test-xcode is released under the MIT license, making it free to use, modify, and distribute in both open-source and commercial projects.

Xcode Test Skill
Build, install, and test iOS apps on the simulator using XcodeBuildMCP. Captures screenshots, logs, and verifies app behavior.
Prerequisites
- Xcode installed with command-line tools
- XcodeBuildMCP MCP server connected
- Valid Xcode project or workspace
- At least one iOS Simulator available
Workflow
0. Verify XcodeBuildMCP is Available
Check that the XcodeBuildMCP MCP server is connected by calling its list_simulators tool.
MCP tool names vary by platform:
- Claude Code: mcp__xcodebuildmcp__list_simulators
- Other platforms: use the equivalent MCP tool call for the XcodeBuildMCP server's list_simulators method
If the tool is not found or errors, inform the user they need to add the XcodeBuildMCP MCP server:
``` XcodeBuildMCP not installed
Install via Homebrew: brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp && brew install xcodebuildmcp
Or via npx (no global install needed): npx -y xcodebuildmcp@latest mcp
Then add "XcodeBuildMCP" as an MCP server in
