xOS Tools Wants to Put iOS Builds on Your Linux Machine
A cross-platform toolchain for compiling, signing, installing, and debugging iOS apps from Linux or Windows.
Field notes
The workflow is organized as a four-stage command chain: compile with `app`, sign and package with `ship`, transfer with `install`, then launch and inspect with `debug`. The project places the device agent beside the phone while the build may run elsewhere, and says requests are encrypted and authenticated before processing. Users must provide an iOS SDK from their own Xcode installation and their own signing material; the tool says it neither downloads nor bundles those Apple components.
