SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually copying and pasting iOS simulator console output to debug runtime, StoreKit, auth, and crash issues is tedious, error-prone, and slows down development iteration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Log Capture: Pull simulator logs directly via XcodeBuildMCP without manual copy/paste of console output.
  • Targeted Filtering: Use subsystem filters (app, swiftui, all) to reduce log noise and focus on relevant debugging information.
  • Use Case: When troubleshooting a StoreKit purchase failure in the iOS Simulator, use this skill to capture only app-related logs while reproducing the issue, then analyze the output to identify the root cause.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to start simulator log capture, reproduce the issue you are debugging in the iOS Simulator, then have the AI retrieve and analyze the captured logs to identify the root cause.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture iOS simulator logs automatically for debugging?

Automated iOS simulator log capture uses XcodeBuildMCP to pull console output directly, eliminating manual copy/paste of runtime data when debugging app, StoreKit, or auth issues.

How do I filter iOS simulator console output to reduce log noise?

Filter simulator console log noise by applying subsystem filters like app, swiftui, or all, which targets relevant debugging data and ignores unrelated system processes.

Do I need XcodeBuildMCP configured to capture simulator logs?

Yes, the XcodeBuildMCP MCP server must be configured in your project's .mcp.json file to execute simulator log capture and session management operations for your iOS app.

What is the best way to debug a StoreKit purchase failure in the iOS Simulator?

Debug a StoreKit failure by starting simulator log capture, reproducing the issue, then retrieving and analyzing app-related subsystem logs to identify the root cause.

Can I use simulator log capture for SwiftUI runtime issues and crash debugging?

Yes, simulator log capture supports all iOS Simulator workflows including building, running, and testing iOS apps to troubleshoot SwiftUI runtime, StoreKit, auth, and crash issues.
