A cross-platform open-source build tool for iOS applications, based on Swift Package Manager. It supports building and deploying iOS applications on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and is intended as a replacement for Xcode's build functionality.
Timeline (last 90 days)
xtool is a cross-platform Xcode alternative that allows developers to build and deploy iOS apps on Linux, Windows and macOS using Swift Package Manager (SwiftPM).
The xtool project has gained over 8500 stars on GitHub, with about 936 new stars in a single day.
xtool currently focuses on the build and deployment steps, its degree of coverage of all Xcode features is not yet clear, and support for other steps needs further verification.
The challenges of cross-platform building of iOS apps lie not only in compilation itself, but also involve complex steps such as code signing, device deployment and the App Store submission process, and xtool's maturity in these areas can only be judged after actual use.
xtool is suitable for Linux/Windows developers, Swift ecosystem enthusiasts, CI/CD engineers and open-source tool observers to follow.
