This page introduces an external open-source repository. It is not an HDATF product.

What it does

This project provides scripts and compatibility tools for developers who want to build iOS apps from Omarchy Linux instead of running Xcode on macOS. Its inputs include Swift or SwiftUI app sources, project resources and an Apple-distributed iOS SDK. Swift and xtool produce an app bundle, while separate scripts handle USB device installation and preparation of an IPA distribution package. The inspected shipping script sequences release building, resource preparation, signing, packaging and offline validation, with upload enabled only by an explicit option. Starting requires a supported Linux machine, a matching Swift and SDK combination and an Apple ID to obtain the Xcode archive containing the SDK. Physical-device work also needs an iPhone and USB connection, while TestFlight requires a paid Apple Developer account and App Store Connect credentials. The README reports successful builds and Apple processing for selected apps, but those results were not reproduced in this review. It also distinguishes older device-debugging evidence from the newer toolchain and describes Linux-only wireless deployment limits, so this should not be treated as universal Xcode compatibility.

How it helps ATF

If ATF Works considers a native iPhone client, this could be compared as a Linux-based build route for a small prototype rather than adopted as a replacement for the current product. Harness could examine the separation of build, validation and optional upload when defining an external build executor. Candidate integration data would include the source revision, Swift and SDK versions, app identifier, artifact path and validation report, with signing credentials kept outside ordinary task records. A trial should separately verify device launch, resource rendering, signing and Apple processing because a local build alone proves none of the later stages. No ATF Works client or Harness integration was implemented here, and universal project conversion, unattended credential handling and wireless deployment are outside this proposal.

  An end to end testing framework for web and mobile apps. A test describes a goal in natural language and an agent drives the app to reach it, while locators and assertions check the result inside the same test. An agent step that a later assertion verifies is recorded, and the next run replays it with no model calls until the app changes.
