• src/tools/build_ios_simulator.ts:75-351 (handler)

  Main handler function implementing the tool logic: builds the app, extracts app path, finds/boots simulator by name or ID, installs the app, extracts bundle ID, launches it, and returns success message with next steps.
  async function _handleIOSSimulatorBuildAndRunLogic(params: { workspacePath?: string; projectPath?: string; scheme: string; configuration: string; simulatorName?: string; simulatorId?: string; useLatestOS: boolean; derivedDataPath?: string; extraArgs?: string[]; preferXcodebuild?: boolean; }): Promise<ToolResponse> { log('info', `Starting iOS Simulator build and run for scheme ${params.scheme} (internal)`); try { // --- Build Step --- const buildResult = await _handleIOSSimulatorBuildLogic(params); if (buildResult.isError) { return buildResult; // Return the build error } // --- Get App Path Step --- // Create the command array for xcodebuild with -showBuildSettings option const command = ['xcodebuild', '-showBuildSettings']; // Add the workspace or project if (params.workspacePath) { command.push('-workspace', params.workspacePath); } else if (params.projectPath) { command.push('-project', params.projectPath); } // Add the scheme and configuration command.push('-scheme', params.scheme); command.push('-configuration', params.configuration); // Handle destination for simulator let destinationString = ''; if (params.simulatorId) { destinationString = `platform=iOS Simulator,id=${params.simulatorId}`; } else if (params.simulatorName) { destinationString = `platform=iOS Simulator,name=${params.simulatorName}${params.useLatestOS ?
