// MCP server for Apple Developer Documentation. Search iOS/macOS/SwiftUI/UIKit docs, WWDC videos with transcripts, sample code, and framework APIs. Use when you need to look up Apple APIs, check platform compatibility, find WWDC sessions, or browse framework symbols. Install the MCP server first, then use its tools.
Always use when working on any iOS, macOS, Swift, SwiftUI, Xcode, or Apple platform project. Routes to the correct specialized skills based on development phase and task context. This collection contains 210 skills from 28 authors covering the full iOS lifecycle.
Generate high-converting App Store screenshots by analyzing your app's codebase, discovering core benefits, and creating ASO-optimized screenshot images using Nano Banana Pro.
Build and capture Xcode/SwiftUI previews for visual analysis. Use when you need to see rendered UI output, verify layouts, or inspect visual components.
Diagnose, fix, or validate SwiftUI animation and scroll behavior by temporarily instrumenting views with MotionEyes, capturing console traces over time, and comparing motion data to user intent or test expectations. Use when users report bugs such as wrong direction, premature fade, timing or easing mismatch, unexpected movement, missing movement, incorrect relative movement between views, scroll jumps, scroll restoration drift, content-offset desynchronization, or when they want to turn MotionEyes traces into focused assertions. Prefer XcodeBuildMCP log capture first and fallback to CLI log streaming; remove only agent-added MotionEyes instrumentation after validation.
Pixel-based motion and UI change analysis from frame sequences or screenshots using computer vision and visual comparison. Use when `.transition` or visual effects are not observable via MotionEyes logs, when you only have screenshots/video, when you need regression diffs across builds, or when you need to summarize on-screen changes without instrumentation. Do not use when MotionEyes traces are available and you need precise timing/values; use `motioneyes-animation-debug` instead.
Official skill for XcodeBuildMCP. Use when doing iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS work (build, test, run, debug, log, UI automation).
