iOS Platform

iOS-specific development with XcodeBuildMCP automation tools.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing iOS patterns
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest iOS 26 docs via Context7/Exa
3. mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__discover_projs - Find Xcode projects

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Overview

When to Use

• Building iPhone applications
• Testing on iOS Simulator
• Deploying to physical devices
• Automating UI interactions
• Debugging app behavior
• UIKit integration in SwiftUI

Why iOS Skill

Feature	Benefit

Best Practices

1. Build validation - Always build before commit
2. Simulator first - Faster iteration
3. Device testing - Required before release
4. Accessibility IDs - Enable UI automation
5. Screenshots - Document UI states
6. Test on oldest supported - iOS version compatibility
