Claude Code Can Now Build and Test iOS Apps in Apple's Simulator - MacRumors
Anthropic has released a public beta for Claude Code that allows the AI to interact directly with Apple's iOS Simulator. This integration enables the AI to build, test, and iterate on apps without requiring screen recording permissions.
Why it matters
This update significantly streamlines the development workflow for AI-assisted coding, enhancing efficiency and security for software developers.
Anthropic today said Claude Code for desktop has been updated to work with the iOS Simulator, with the integration available in public beta.
Claude Code can open in-progress apps in the iOS Simulator pane when it's instructed to build, run, or check an app. Claude can watch the iOS Simulator live as it runs, interact with it, and then iterate until a project is finished. Developers can continue to use the iOS Simulator as Claude works.
