# Resources Directory
This directory contains bundled binaries and resources that are packaged with the application.
## Bundled Binaries
### idb_companion
- **Version**: 1.1.8
- **Source**: Facebook idb (iOS Development Bridge)
- **Type**: Universal binary (x86_64 + arm64)
- **Purpose**: Provides iOS Simulator interaction capabilities
- **License**: MIT (Facebook)
The idb_companion binary is bundled to ensure seamless installation without requiring users to manually install dependencies via Homebrew.
## Usage
When the application is packaged, these resources are copied to the app's Resources directory and can be accessed via:
```javascript
const { app } = require('electron');
const path = require('path');
const resourcesPath = app.isPackaged
? process.resourcesPath
: path.join(__dirname, '..', 'resources');
const idbCompanionPath = path.join(resourcesPath, 'idb_companion');
```
## Notes
- The idb CLI tool still requires Python and the idb package, which users may need to install separately
- idb_companion can run standalone and provides the core iOS Simulator interaction functionality
- The MCP server prioritizes using system-installed idb if available, falling back to bundled binaries
