Questions tagged [xctool]

xctool is a replacement for Apple's xcodebuild that makes it easier to build and test iOS and Mac projects.

xctool is a replacement for 's that makes it easier to build and test and projects.

xctool is drop-in replacement for xcodebuild that adds a few extra features:

  • Runs the same tests as Xcode.app.
  • Structured output of build and test results.
  • Human-friendly, ANSI-colored output.
  • Faster, parallelized test runs.

For a fully-featured version, the Command Line Tools should be installed. xctool's commands and options are mostly a superset of xcodebuild's. In most cases,xcodebuild can just be swapped with xctool and things will run as expected but with more attractive output.

You should be using this tag if your question is related to the use of xctool for iOS and Mac projects.
