xcode‑dev Claude plugin
An open‑source 'xcode‑dev' Claude plugin surfaced that diagnoses/fixes iOS builds — it understands provisioning profiles, linker/pod failures and even Expo/React‑Native/App Store rejection patterns. (x.com) Developers are already flagging it as a pragmatic shortcut for frustrating local/CI Xcode errors. (x.com)
The plugin is published on GitHub by Mustafa Boorenie and the repository shows two commits, zero forks and zero stars at the top level, and includes an MIT license. (github.com) The README says the project contains 38 curated files covering 70+ Xcode build‑failure patterns and 30 documented App Store rejection reasons, and it includes SDK integration guides for RevenueCat, PostHog, Firebase and Sentry. (github.com) xcode‑dev bundles XcodeBuildMCP and a catalog of “78+ Xcode tools” and exposes capabilities that let Claude run xcodebuild, list simulators and execute tests while surfacing Expo/React‑Native-specific gotchas. (github.com) Quick‑start instructions in the repo show cloning the repo and running claude --plugin-dir./xcode‑dev, and the plugin adds an xcode‑dev:doctor command that checks Xcode version, CLI tools, CocoaPods, Node.js, simulators, disk space and code‑signing identities. (github.com) Apple released Xcode 26.3 with agentic coding support in February 2026, which lets external agents such as Claude Code and Codex build, test and take multi‑step actions inside projects, and Anthropic says the Claude Agent SDK in Xcode brings plugins, subagents and background tasks to the IDE. (apple.com) Because xcode‑dev is distributed as a Claude Code plugin and references MCP tooling, using it requires Claude/Claude Code or an MCP bridge configured with Xcode’s Model Context Protocol (claude mcp add / xcrun mcpbridge), and Anthropic’s docs note Claude in Xcode is available to Pro/Max and premium team seats.
