xctool is a replacement for Apple's xcodebuild that makes it easier to build and test iOS and Mac projects.

xctool is a replacement for 's that makes it easier to build and test and projects.

xctool is drop-in replacement for xcodebuild that adds a few extra features:

  • Runs the same tests as Xcode.app.
  • Structured output of build and test results.
  • Human-friendly, ANSI-colored output.
  • Faster, parallelized test runs.

For a fully-featured version, the Command Line Tools should be installed. xctool's commands and options are mostly a superset of xcodebuild's. In most cases,xcodebuild can just be swapped with xctool and things will run as expected but with more attractive output.
