Build iOS Apps — Claude Code Plugin
27 AI skills for iOS development — SwiftUI patterns, Liquid Glass (iOS 26+), performance audits, simulator debugging via XcodeBuildMCP, and 22 App Store Connect CLI workflows for builds, TestFlight, releases, signing, pricing, screenshots, and localization.
What Is This?
Build iOS Apps is a Claude Code plugin that gives AI coding assistants deep, opinionated knowledge about iOS and App Store workflows. Instead of generic Swift help, you get:
- SwiftUI skills that follow Apple's latest design system, Observation API, and MV patterns
- iOS 26+ Liquid Glass adoption guidance with correct modifier order, fallbacks, and interactivity
- XcodeBuildMCP integration to build, run, and debug apps directly on a simulator from the AI agent
- 22 App Store Connect workflows powered by the
asc CLI — from signing setup to PPP pricing
No boilerplate. No hallucinated APIs. Just focused, production-ready guidance.
