# 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

- 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:
