Building and Shipping Mac and iOS Apps Without Ever Opening Xcode

17speckx💬 5

I show you how to build and ship Mac and iOS apps entirely from the command line without ever opening Xcode. After a one-time setup involving your Apple Developer account and certificates, you can automate the entire pipeline using scripts and tools like XcodeGen. By leveraging LLMs to handle the complexity, you can focus on coding while your build process runs headless and efficiently.
