build-deploy

Build and deploy Xcode projects to Mac or iOS devices in one step. Use when user says "build and deploy", "deploy to iPad", "rebuild server", "install on device", or wants to test changes on a physical device. Handles xcodegen → xcodebuild → install → launch automatically.

Build & Deploy

One-step build and deploy for Xcode projects.

Execution Steps

Step 1: Detect Project

# Find project.yml (xcodegen) or .xcodeproj
ls project.yml *.xcodeproj 2>/dev/null

If project.yml exists, run xcodegen generate first.

Step 2: Determine Target

Ask if ambiguous:

macOS app: build Release → copy to /Applications/ → restart
iOS device: build Debug → install via devicectl → launch

Step 3: Build

# macOS
xcodebuild build -project <proj> -scheme <scheme> -configuration Release -destination 'platform=macOS' 2>&1 | grep -E '(error:|warning:|BUILD)'

# iOS device
xcodebuild build -project <proj> -scheme <scheme> -configuration Debug -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' 2>&1 | grep -E '(error:|warning:|BUILD)'

If build fails, show errors and stop.

Step 4: Deploy

macOS

pkill -9 -f <process_name> 2>/dev/null
sleep 1
cp -R "<built_products_dir>/<app>.app" /Applications/
nohup /Applications/<app>.app/Contents/MacOS/<binary> > /dev/null 2>&1 &

iOS Device

# Get device UDID
xcrun xctrace list devices 2>&1 | grep -E 'iPad|iPhone'

# Install + launch
xcrun devicectl device install app --device <udid> "<app_path>" 2>&1
xcrun devicectl device process launch --device <udid> --terminate-existing <bundle_id> 2>&1

Step 5: Verify

Confirm process is running:

ps aux | grep <app_name> | grep -v grep

Report: build time, deploy target, status.
