apple-platform-build-tools-claude-code-plugin

Apple Platform Build Tools Claude Code Plugin provides reference documentation and automated execution for building Swift packages and Xcode projects targeting iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS. It includes an Agent Skill with detailed xcrun tool documentation and a Subagent that discovers project structure, manages simulators and devices, runs builds, and returns results without cluttering the main agent's context. Teams can delegate build and test commands to the Subagent or reference the Agent Skill directly for complex xcodebuild commands, code signing, profiling, distribution, and troubleshooting. The plugin integrates with CI/CD workflows and supports physical device deployment, binary inspection, and performance profiling through xctrace and xcresulttool.
