• src/tools/app_path.ts:49-180 (handler)

  Core handler logic shared across app path tools. Executes xcodebuild -showBuildSettings for the specified workspace/project, scheme, configuration, and destination (simulator ID or name), parses output to extract BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR and FULL_PRODUCT_NAME, constructs the .app path, and returns it with next steps.
  async function _handleGetAppPathLogic(params: { workspacePath?: string; projectPath?: string; scheme: string; configuration: string; platform: XcodePlatform; simulatorName?: string; simulatorId?: string; useLatestOS: boolean; arch?: string; }): Promise<ToolResponse> { log('info', `Getting app path for scheme ${params.scheme} on platform ${params.platform}`); try { // Create the command array for xcodebuild with -showBuildSettings option const command = ['xcodebuild', '-showBuildSettings']; // Add the workspace or project if (params.workspacePath) { command.push('-workspace', params.workspacePath); } else if (params.projectPath) { command.push('-project', params.projectPath); } // Add the scheme and configuration command.push('-scheme', params.scheme); command.push('-configuration', params.configuration); // Handle destination based on platform const isSimulatorPlatform = [ XcodePlatform.iOSSimulator, XcodePlatform.watchOSSimulator, XcodePlatform.tvOSSimulator, XcodePlatform.visionOSSimulator, ].includes(params.platform); let destinationString = ''; if (isSimulatorPlatform) { if (params.simulatorId) { destinationString = `platform=${params.platform},id=${params.simulatorId}`; } else if (params.simulatorName) { destinationString = `platform=${params.platform},name=${params.simulatorName}${params.useLatestOS ?

• src/tools/app_path.ts:432-466 (registration)

  Tool registration function that defines the tool name 'get_sim_app_path_id_proj', description, input schema (composing imported Zod schemas), and handler wrapper that validates params and delegates to shared _handleGetAppPathLogic.
  export function registerGetSimulatorAppPathByIdProjectTool(server: McpServer): void { type Params = BaseProjectParams & BaseAppPathSimulatorIdParams; registerTool<Params>( server, 'get_sim_app_path_id_proj', "Gets the app bundle path for a simulator by UUID using a project file. IMPORTANT: Requires projectPath, scheme, platform, and simulatorId. Example: get_sim_app_path_id_proj({ projectPath: '/path/to/project.xcodeproj', scheme: 'MyScheme', platform: 'iOS Simulator', simulatorId: 'SIMULATOR_UUID' })", { projectPath: projectPathSchema, scheme: schemeSchema, platform: platformSimulatorSchema, simulatorId: simulatorIdSchema, configuration: configurationSchema, useLatestOS: useLatestOSSchema, }, async (params: Params) => { const projectValidation = validateRequiredParam('projectPath', params.projectPath); if (!projectValidation.isValid) return projectValidation.errorResponse!; const schemeValidation = validateRequiredParam('scheme', params.scheme); if (!schemeValidation.isValid) return schemeValidation.errorResponse!; const platformValidation = validateRequiredParam('platform', params.platform); if (!platformValidation.isValid) return platformValidation.errorResponse!; const simulatorIdValidation = validateRequiredParam('simulatorId', params.simulatorId); if (!simulatorIdValidation.isValid) return simulatorIdValidation.errorResponse!; return _handleGetAppPathLogic({ ...params, configuration: params.configuration ?? 'Debug', useLatestOS: params.useLatestOS ?? true, }); }, ); }
• src/tools/app_path.ts:438-445 (schema)

  Input parameter schema for the tool, composing Zod schemas for projectPath, scheme, platform (simulator types), simulatorId (UUID), configuration, and useLatestOS.
  { projectPath: projectPathSchema, scheme: schemeSchema, platform: platformSimulatorSchema, simulatorId: simulatorIdSchema, configuration: configurationSchema, useLatestOS: useLatestOSSchema, },
• src/utils/register-tools.ts:312-320 (registration)

  Central tool registry entry that conditionally registers the tool via registerIfEnabled based on environment variable, associating it with workflow groups.
  { register: registerGetSimulatorAppPathByIdProjectTool, groups: [ ToolGroup.IOS_SIMULATOR_WORKFLOW, ToolGroup.APP_DEPLOYMENT, ToolGroup.PROJECT_DISCOVERY, ], envVar: 'XCODEBUILDMCP_TOOL_GET_SIMULATOR_APP_PATH_BY_ID_PROJECT', },
• src/tools/common.ts:160-179 (helper)

  Generic helper function used by all tools to register with the MCP server, wrapping the custom handler to fit the server.tool API.
  export function registerTool<T extends object>( server: McpServer, name: string, description: string, schema: Record<string, z.ZodType>, handler: (params: T) => Promise<ToolResponse>, ): void { // Create a wrapper handler that matches the signature expected by server.tool const wrappedHandler = ( args: Record<string, unknown>, _extra: unknown, ): Promise<ToolResponse> => { // Assert the type *before* calling the original handler // This confines the type assertion to one place const typedParams = args as T; return handler(typedParams); }; server.tool(name, description, schema, wrappedHandler); }
