• Add video capture tool for simulators

• Add simulator erase content and settings tool

• Pass environment variables to test runs on device, simulator, and macOS via an optional testRunnerEnv input (auto-prefixed as TEST_RUNNER_).

• Clean tool: Fixed issue where clean would fail for simulators

• Sentry Logging: No longer logs domain errors to Sentry, now only logs MCP server errors.

• Unify project/workspace and sim id/name tools into a single tools reducing the number of tools from 81 to 59, this helps reduce the client agent's context window size by 27%!
• Selective Workflow Loading: New XCODEBUILDMCP_ENABLED_WORKFLOWS environment variable allows loading only specific workflow groups in static mode, reducing context window usage for clients that don't support MCP sampling (Thanks to @codeman9 for their first contribution!)
• Rename diagnosics tool and cli to doctor
• Add Sentry instrumentation to track MCP usage statistics (can be disabled by setting XCODEBUILDMCP_SENTRY_DISABLED=true)
• Add support for MCP setLevel handler to allow clients to control the log level of the MCP server

• Fixed "registerTools is not a function" errors during package upgrades

• Improved tool discovery to be more accurate and context-aware

• Major refactor/rewrite to improve code quality and maintainability in preparation for future development
• Added support for dynamic tools (VSCode only for now)
• Added support for MCP Resources (devices, simulators, environment info)
• Workaround for getsentry#66 and anthropics/claude-code#1804 issues where Claude Code would only see the first text content from tool responses

• App Lifecycle Management: New tools for stopping running applications
  • stop_app_device: Stop apps running on physical Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro)
  • stop_app_sim: Stop apps running on iOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS simulators
  • stop_mac_app: Stop macOS applications by name or process ID
• Enhanced Launch Tools: Device launch tools now return process IDs for better app management
• Bundled AXe Distribution: AXe binary and frameworks now included in npm package for zero-setup UI automation

• WiFi Device Detection: Improved detection of Apple devices connected over WiFi networks
• Device Connectivity: Better handling of paired devices with different connection states

• Simplified Installation: No separate AXe installation required - everything works out of the box

• Added support for hardware devices over USB and Wi-Fi
• New tools for Apple device deployment:
  • install_app_device
  • launch_app_device
• Updated all simulator and device tools to be platform-agnostic, supporting all Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS)
• Changed get_ios_bundle_id to get_app_bundle_id with support for all Apple platforms

• Added support for running tests on macOS, iOS simulators, and iOS devices
• New tools for testing:
  • test_macos_workspace
  • test_macos_project
  • test_ios_simulator_name_workspace
  • test_ios_simulator_name_project
  • test_ios_simulator_id_workspace
  • test_ios_simulator_id_project
  • test_ios_device_workspace
  • test_ios_device_project

• Added support for Swift Package Manager (SPM)
• New tools for Swift Package Manager:
  • swift_package_build
  • swift_package_clean
  • swift_package_test
  • swift_package_run
  • swift_package_list
  • swift_package_stop

• Improve UI tool hints

• Moved project templates to external GitHub repositories for independent versioning
• Added support for downloading templates from GitHub releases
• Added local template override support via environment variables
• Added scaffold_ios_project and scaffold_macos_project tools for creating new projects
• Centralized template version management in package.json for easier updates

• UI automation is no longer in beta!
• Added support for AXe UI automation
• Revised default installation instructions to prefer npx instead of mise

• Merge the incremental build beta branch into main
• Add preferXcodebuild argument to build tools with improved error handling allowing the agent to force the use of xcodebuild over xcodemake for complex projects. It also adds a hint when incremental builds fail due to non-compiler errors, enabling the agent to automatically switch to xcodebuild for a recovery build attempt, improving reliability.

• Fix Claude Code issue due to long tool names

• Fixed issue where incremental builds would only work for "Debug" build configurations

• Same as beta 1 but has the latest features from the main release channel

• Added experimental support for incremental builds (requires opt-in)

• Added support for enabling/disabling tools via environment variables

• Fixed the text input UI automation tool
• Improve the UI automation tool hints to reduce agent tool call errors
• Improved the project discovery tool to reduce agent tool call errors
• Added instructions for installing idb client manually

• Improved Sentry integration

• Added Sentry opt-out functionality

• Added Sentry integration for error reporting

• Added support for interacting with the simulator (tap, swipe etc.)
• Added support for capturing simulator screenshots

Please note that the UI automation features are an early preview and currently in beta your mileage may vary.
