Show HN: AgentSwift – Open-source iOS builder agent

This is neat!

Can you elaborate on “boots the app on a simulator or macOS, runs UI automation to verify behavior”

Does this handle screen captures similar to Playwright for web?

I built an app with Codex recently (to control codex/cc remotely, funnily enough) and without any skills/plugins, it was booting the simulator and running tests to verify something(?)

It seemed mostly to ensure that the app didn’t crash in certain scenarios, but it could by no means “see” what was on the screen.

I still had to do all the manual validation myself, mostly around perf/touch targets.

Curious if your tool does that or if there’s another solution out there?

as someone who's likely never going to dive into this i am curious, what's the upside here using this over.. claude code and plugging in xcode mcp server(s) alongside xcode ? I see it uses claude anyways, I'm just curious if you've designed some additional guardrailing or features here.
