FAQPage Schema
How do I render a SwiftUI preview without running the full iOS application?

You can render SwiftUI previews directly without building the full app. This Skill uses the Xcode MCP server's RenderPreview command to visualize your SwiftUI views instantly, streamlining UI debugging workflows.

Can I execute Swift code snippets interactively to test API calls?

Yes, you can execute Swift code snippets interactively. This Skill leverages the ExecuteSnippet command through the Xcode MCP server to run Swift REPL snippets, allowing you to validate API calls and test logic in an interactive environment.

How do I search Apple documentation for SwiftUI APIs during development?

To search Apple documentation, this Skill uses the DocumentationSearch command via the Xcode MCP server. It allows you to efficiently find official API references for SwiftUI and other iOS frameworks without leaving your development workflow.

Do I need an Xcode MCP server to use SwiftUI preview and REPL features?

Yes, the Xcode MCP server is required. This Skill depends on the server's availability to execute core commands like RenderPreview, ExecuteSnippet, and DocumentationSearch for rendering UI, running Swift REPL, and looking up API references.

What is the best way to debug a complex SwiftUI layout and test new APIs together?

The best way is using an integrated workflow that renders SwiftUI previews, executes Swift REPL snippets, and searches Apple documentation. This Skill combines all three via the Xcode MCP server to validate layouts and test API calls efficiently.
