Xcode Pilot 1.0.0
First public release of Xcode Pilot, a macOS menu bar app that builds, runs, tests and archives Xcode projects through xcodebuild, simctl and devicectl, so Xcode.app can stay closed.
Install: download XcodePilot.dmg below, drag Xcode Pilot to Applications and open it; it lives in the menu bar. Needs macOS 14 or later and Xcode 26. The app is signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
Highlights
- Project, scheme, run destination and configuration pickers, just like Xcode's toolbar
- Build, Run, Stop, Test, Clean and Archive; Run stays attached and streams
printoutput to the Console tab - Errors and warnings with the compiler's code snippets, reconciled with the
.xcresult - Condensed or full build log with search
- Archives show up in the Organizer and can be exported or uploaded to App Store Connect
- The menu bar icon shows build progress, time, the result and the error count
- Global shortcuts: ⌃⌥⌘R run, ⌃⌥⌘B build, ⌃⌥⌘. stop, ⌃⌥⌘X show or hide the panel
