Gets the app bundle path for a macOS application using either a project or workspace. Provide exactly one of projectPath or workspacePath. Example: get_mac_app_path({ projectPath: '/path/to/project.xcodeproj', scheme: 'MyScheme' })

Extracts the bundle identifier from a macOS app bundle (.app). IMPORTANT: You MUST provide the appPath parameter. Example: get_mac_bundle_id({ appPath: '/path/to/your/app.app' }) Note: In some environments, this tool may be prefixed as mcp0_get_macos_bundle_id.

Gets the app bundle path for a simulator by UUID or name using either a project or workspace file. IMPORTANT: Requires either projectPath OR workspacePath (not both), plus scheme, platform, and either simulatorId OR simulatorName (not both). Example: get_sim_app_path({ projectPath: '/path/to/project.xcodeproj', scheme: 'MyScheme', platform: 'iOS Simulator', simulatorName: 'iPhone 16' })

Launches an app on a physical Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro). Requires deviceId and bundleId.

Launches an app in an iOS simulator and captures its logs.

Launches an app in an iOS simulator by UUID or name. If simulator window isn't visible, use open_sim() first. IMPORTANT: Provide either simulatorUuid OR simulatorName, plus bundleId. Note: You must install the app in the simulator before launching. The typical workflow is: build → install → launch. Example: launch_app_sim({ simulatorUuid: 'YOUR_UUID_HERE', bundleId: 'com.example.MyApp' }) or launch_app_sim({ simulatorName: 'iPhone 16', bundleId: 'com.example.MyApp' })

Launches a macOS application. IMPORTANT: You MUST provide the appPath parameter. Example: launch_mac_app({ appPath: '/path/to/your/app.app' }) Note: In some environments, this tool may be prefixed as mcp0_launch_macos_app.
