cli-sedHow can I set up the Xcode command line interface?


  1. To set up the Xcode command line interface, you must first install Xcode from the Mac App Store. After installing Xcode, open it and go to Preferences > Downloads. Here, select the Command Line Tools option and click Install.

  2. Once the Command Line Tools are installed, you can open Terminal and type xcode-select --install to verify the installation.

  3. After the installation is verified, you can use the xcodebuild command to build and run your Xcode projects from the command line. For example, to build an Xcode project located in the current directory, you can type the following command:

xcodebuild -project MyProject.xcodeproj
  1. You can also use the xcodebuild command to run tests, run specific targets, and generate code coverage reports. For example, to run tests in the MyProjectTests target, you can type the following command:
xcodebuild -project MyProject.xcodeproj -scheme MyProjectTests -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 11' test
  1. You can also use the xcodebuild command to generate a code coverage report. To generate a code coverage report, you can type the following command:
xcodebuild -project MyProject.xcodeproj -scheme MyProjectTests -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 11' -enableCodeCoverage YES test
  1. After running the command, the code coverage report will be generated in the MyProject.xcodeproj/xcshareddata/xcschemes directory.

  2. For more information on the xcodebuild command and other Xcode command line tools, please refer to the Apple Developer Documentation.
