build_ios_sim_id_proj

Builds an iOS app for a specific simulator UUID using a project file. Requires project path, scheme, and simulator ID to generate the build.

Instructions

Builds an iOS app from a project file for a specific simulator by UUID. IMPORTANT: Requires projectPath, scheme, and simulatorId. Example: build_ios_sim_id_proj({ projectPath: '/path/to/MyProject.xcodeproj', scheme: 'MyScheme', simulatorId: 'SIMULATOR_UUID' })

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`configuration`	No	Build configuration (Debug, Release, etc.)
`derivedDataPath`	No	Path where build products and other derived data will go
`extraArgs`	No	Additional xcodebuild arguments
`preferXcodebuild`	No	If true, prefers xcodebuild over the experimental incremental build system, useful for when incremental build system fails.
`projectPath`	Yes	Path to the .xcodeproj file (Required)
`scheme`	Yes	The scheme to use (Required)
`simulatorId`	Yes	UUID of the simulator to use (obtained from listSimulators) (Required)
`useLatestOS`	No	Whether to use the latest OS version for the named simulator
