Expo's official CLI: starts the React Native dev server, runs prebuild to generate native folders, runs apps locally on iOS and Android, and installs version-compatible dependencies. Ships with the expo package; call it with npx expo inside a project.

Release automation for iOS and Android: lanes orchestrate builds, code signing management, screenshot generation and uploads to the App Store and Google Play, and agents can call a project's existing lanes directly.

Connects Claude Code to SourceKit-LSP so the agent can go to definitions, find references and inspect symbols in Swift code. Install the Swift toolchain or Xcode first. Official Anthropic plugin.

Style and convention linter for Swift, with most rules built on SwiftSyntax. Configure it with .swiftlint.yml, auto-correct with --fix, and run it in an Xcode build phase or as a SwiftPM plugin.

MCP built into the CLI of the Maestro mobile UI testing framework (maestro mcp): lets agents view the screen, tap, scroll and assert on iOS/Android simulators, Android devices or Chromium, and write and run YAML end-to-end flows. Needs the Maestro CLI and Java 17+. Official.

Write end-to-end UI tests for Android, iOS and web apps in YAML. The CLI includes an MCP server (maestro mcp) so coding agents can tap, assert and generate tests on simulators. Requires Java 17+.

Lets agents control iOS and Android simulators and real devices: reads the accessibility tree first and falls back to screenshot coordinates, and can swipe, install and uninstall apps, record the screen and read device logs. Requires Xcode or Android platform tools.

asc CLI for scripting the App Store Connect API: manage builds, TestFlight, metadata, signing and review submissions to automate iOS and macOS releases from the terminal or CI. Ships with a companion agent skill pack. Needs an App Store Connect API key.

OpenAI's official iOS skills: SwiftUI patterns and view refactoring, iOS 26 Liquid Glass, App Intents, performance audits with ETTrace sampling, memory leak hunting with memgraph, and simulator debugging. Needs macOS and Xcode; debugging skills rely on XcodeBuildMCP.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for iOS: SwiftUI UI work and refactoring, App Intents, simulator debugging, performance profiling and memory leak hunting, with XcodeBuildMCP built in. Requires macOS and Xcode; Codex only.

Has the agent build a local Next.js editor that turns app screenshots into App Store and Google Play marketing images: real device frames, bold headlines, 18 visual styles, multiple languages and RTL layouts, with one-click export of every required size. Needs Node.js.

Lets agents build, run, test and debug iOS and macOS projects and control simulators and physical devices, with a CLI mode too. Formerly XcodeBuildMCP, now maintained by Sentry; macOS only, requires Xcode 16 or later.

SwiftUI skill by Paul Hudson of Hacking with Swift: reviews and improves SwiftUI code, covering modern vs deprecated APIs, performance, navigation and layout, state management and VoiceOver accessibility, targeting iOS 26 and Swift 6.2.

From Callstack: lets coding agents drive and verify iOS, Android, HarmonyOS and desktop apps through accessibility snapshots, with taps, form filling, screenshots, logs and performance sampling, plus a built-in MCP server. Requires Node.js 22.12+.

Guides SwiftUI view building: choosing @State, @Binding, @Observable or @Environment by ownership, wiring TabView, NavigationStack and sheets, async loading with .task, small composed views and previews, plus anti-patterns and a component reference index.

Condenses verbose xcodebuild and swift test output into concise build errors, warnings and test results, so agents read less log noise. Can generate JUnit reports and works with CI such as GitHub Actions; runs on macOS and Linux.

Reviews mobile and desktop app designs against Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, bundled as 123 pages from developer.apple.com, citing the exact guideline through five review lenses, and flags generic, templated choices. Works on screenshots, mockups or code for SwiftUI, Flutter or Electron.

Lets agents build Xcode projects and drive the iOS Simulator: 29 scripts cover building and testing, semantic navigation and taps via the accessibility tree, screenshot diffs and device lifecycle, with compact token-saving output. Needs macOS, Xcode and idb.

Distilled Apple Human Interface Guidelines reference for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS and watchOS, loading the right rules, component specs and measurements per task. Includes a /duo workflow for adapting an iOS app to iPhone Duo and an opt-in enforce mode with independent review.

Appium's official MCP server: lets agents start sessions on Android and iOS emulators and real devices, locate elements, tap, type and take screenshots, and generate Java/TestNG test code. Needs the Android SDK or Xcode.

Cross-platform UI automation skills built on Midscene.js visual recognition: control browsers, desktops, Android, iOS and HarmonyOS devices in natural language, and set up Vitest + Midscene E2E tests. Bring your own vision model API key; maintained by the Midscene team.
