Xcode iOS Development AI Skill Guide

Overview & Engine Architecture

Xcode builds iOS apps via targets, schemes, and provisioning. Source compiles to app bundles run on Simulator or devices; distribution uses Archive + Organizer/Transporter. Agents treat signing (Team ID, bundle ID, entitlements) as first-class config, keep secrets out of the repo, and align deployment target with API usage.
