SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Remove development-time instrumentation and DEBUG wiring from an iOS app to ensure lean Release builds free of debug artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remove the DebugBridge SPM package and all #if DEBUG wiring from the iOS app.
  • Strips app-side hooks and instrumentation installed by ios-qa, reducing runtime surface area in production.
  • Use Case: before releasing an iOS app, run ios-clean to ensure no debug components remain in the final binary.

Quick Start

Run the ios-clean skill to strip DebugBridge references and #if DEBUG wiring from the iOS app.

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove DebugBridge instrumentation from my iOS app before release?

To remove DebugBridge instrumentation from an iOS app, you can run a process that strips DebugBridge SPM package dependencies, DebugOverlay hooks, and #if DEBUG wiring to ensure lean Release builds free of debug artifacts.

What is the best way to strip #if DEBUG wiring from a Swift Xcode project?

Stripping #if DEBUG wiring from a Swift Xcode project involves safely identifying and removing development-time assets and conditional DEBUG codegen outputs without affecting runtime functionality in production builds.

Does ios-clean work with SPM package manager configurations in Xcode?

Yes, ios-clean works with SPM package manager configurations in Xcode by safely identifying and removing DebugBridge dependencies and QA-related codegen outputs installed by ios-qa without affecting runtime functionality.

Why does my iOS Release build still contain QA-related codegen outputs?

Your iOS Release build may contain QA-related codegen outputs because DebugBridge dependencies and DebugOverlay hooks installed by ios-qa were not stripped from the project prior to building the final binary.

Can I use ios-clean to reduce the runtime surface area of my production iOS app?

Yes, you can use ios-clean to reduce the runtime surface area of your production iOS app by stripping app-side hooks, DebugBridge references, and DEBUG conditional wiring installed during development.

What are the limitations of stripping DEBUG wiring from an iOS app?

The primary limitation of stripping DEBUG wiring is that it requires access to the project's package manager and build configuration to safely identify and remove only development-time assets without affecting runtime functionality.
