SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers quickly identify and resolve environment-related issues that block Xcode builds and simulator runs, reducing time spent on symptoms rather than root causes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Environment-first diagnostics: checks Derived Data size, zombie xcodebuild processes, and simulator states before code changes.
Guided remediation: provides deterministic steps to fix common failures like BUILD FAILED, Unable to boot simulator, and No such module.
Verification workflow: guides you to re-run builds and tests to confirm fixes in real scenarios.

Quick Start

Run mandatory environment checks: ps aux | grep -E "xcodebuild|Simulator" | grep -v grep; du -sh ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData; xcrun simctl list devices
Restart and reset simulators if needed: xcrun simctl shutdown all; xcrun simctl erase all; killall -9 Simulator
Rebuild and verify: xcodebuild -scheme YourScheme -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 14'

FAQPage Schema

How do I fix Xcode build errors by clearing stale Derived Data?▼

To resolve an iOS simulator that is unable to boot, run `xcrun simctl shutdown all` followed by `xcrun simctl erase all`, and kill any zombie Simulator processes using `killall -9 Simulator` before attempting to boot the device again.

Why does Xcode show "No such module" even when my dependencies are installed?▼

Diagnose iOS simulator blocking issues by listing device states with `xcrun simctl list devices`, shutting down all simulators, and erasing them to eliminate environment conflicts before running new builds.

What is the best way to diagnose environment-related Xcode build failures?▼

The best way to diagnose environment-related Xcode build failures is prioritizing environment checks over code changes, specifically inspecting Derived Data size, active xcodebuild processes, and simulator states through guided deterministic steps.

How do I verify an Xcode simulator fix after resetting the environment?▼

Verify an Xcode simulator fix after resetting the environment by re-running the build and tests using `xcodebuild -scheme YourScheme -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 14'` to confirm the deterministic remediation resolved the failure.
