FAQPage Schema
How do I build and debug iOS apps directly within Cursor?▼

To build and debug iOS apps in Cursor, use this skill to route to the ios-debugger-agent and cupertino sub-skills. It coordinates with MCP servers to provide a unified plugin workflow for Xcode builds and simulator debugging.

Can I mirror my iOS Simulator in an embedded browser for SwiftUI previews?▼

Yes, you can mirror your iOS Simulator in an embedded browser. The skill routes to the ios-simulator-browser and cursor-embedded-browser sub-skills, enabling SwiftUI previews and simulator mirroring directly within your development environment.

What do I need to set up before using the iOS app build and preview workflow?▼

To use the iOS app build and preview workflow, you need macOS with Xcode installed, a booted iOS Simulator, Cupertino CLI setup, and the plugin enabled. These prerequisites ensure full operation for building, debugging, and mirroring.

Does this iOS development workflow support performance auditing and memory leak detection?▼

Yes, the iOS development workflow supports performance auditing and memory leak detection. It routes to the ios-ettrace-performance and ios-memgraph-leaks sub-skills, allowing you to profile and identify memory issues on the simulator.

What's the best way to access iOS API docs and samples while developing in Cursor?▼

The best way to access iOS API docs and samples is through the embedded browser and MCP server discovery. The skill provides routing instructions that enable seamless API documentation access and sample integration for end-to-end app development.

Why is my iOS app build workflow not routing to the correct sub-skills?▼

Your iOS app build workflow may not route correctly if the plugin is not enabled or the Cupertino CLI is not set up. Ensure macOS, Xcode, and a booted Simulator are active, as these are required for coordinating with MCP servers and skill mappings.
