SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the removal of development-only debugging tools and instrumentation from an iOS project, ensuring a clean state for release builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

Cleanup: Automatically removes DebugBridge SPM packages and associated #if DEBUG code blocks.
Safety: Ensures that structural release-build guards remain intact while stripping unnecessary instrumentation.
Use Case: Use this when preparing an iOS application for production to ensure no debug-only code or dependencies remain in the final binary.

Quick Start

Invoke the ios-clean skill to remove the debug bridge and strip all gstack instrumentation from the current project.

FAQPage Schema

How do I remove debug instrumentation from iOS source code before a release build?▼

To remove debug instrumentation from iOS source code, you can automate the stripping of DebugBridge SPM packages and associated #if DEBUG code blocks. This ensures your production binary remains clean and free of development-only dependencies.

Does removing DebugBridge SPM packages affect structural release-build guards in my iOS project?▼

Removing DebugBridge SPM packages does not affect structural release-build guards. The cleanup process specifically targets and strips unnecessary debug instrumentation while ensuring that essential structural guards remain intact for your iOS application.

What is the best way to clean up iOS debug dependencies for production deployment?▼

The best way to clean up iOS debug dependencies for production is to automate the removal of DebugBridge SPM packages and conditional debug code blocks. This handles the development-to-production transition by modifying project files directly.

Do I need special tools to strip DebugBridge packages and conditional debug code from my iOS app?▼

You do not need special tools to strip DebugBridge packages and conditional debug code from your iOS app. The process requires standard shell access to modify project files and remove build-time dependencies from your source code.

When should I remove conditional debug code blocks from my iOS application?▼

You should remove conditional debug code blocks from your iOS application when preparing for production release. This project cleanup task ensures no debug-only code or dependencies remain in the final binary during the development-to-production transition.

Why does my iOS release build still contain debug-only code and dependencies?▼

Your iOS release build might contain debug-only code because DebugBridge SPM packages and #if DEBUG blocks were not stripped during the transition. Automating this project cleanup ensures all unnecessary instrumentation is removed from the final binary.
