App-Store-Connect-CLI
Fast, scriptable CLI for the App Store Connect API. Automate TestFlight, builds, submissions, signing, analytics, screenshots, subscriptions, and more. JSON-first, no interactive prompts
Project mention: Building and Shipping Mac and iOS Apps Without Ever Opening Xcode | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-13Trying to move beyond the hype here, everyone will still be needing to use Xcode for at least some debugging no way around that.
As for the builds, your agent probably already knows how to do a lot of this from the command line, although explicit suggestions can help it build faster for different situations.
As for XcodeGen, you may find it unnecessary overhead if you're already using Xcode file system synced groups.
For iOS my biggest suggestion would be to enable App Store Connect skills for your agent (https://github.com/rorkai/App-Store-Connect-CLI).
With this not only do you not need Xcode all the time, you also don't even need to be near a MacBook.
Just make changes via Codex on your iPhone, the tell asc to build and upload to TestFlight, download and run the new version, iterate.

Project mention: Ask HN: What are your favorite CLIs to use as LLM tools? | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-25
I've recently been getting into building out skills for agentic coding. The two main ones I have built out are using the jira CLI[0] and the gitlab CLI[1]. Both work well for what I want to use them for (interacting with issues and with MRs).
What have been the CLIs that you have found to be the most useful to use with agents? Have you found any that an agent has been able to compose in interesting ways?

cs
codespelunker - CLI code search tool that understands code structure and ranks results by relevance. No indexing required with CLI, TUI, MCP and HTTP support.
Tooting my own horn here for search but give https://github.com/boyter/cs a go. You can have a http up if you like (even modify it) and have it sync your repos for you as it will on a schedule you define do a sync.
Let me know if it fails in some area and I’ll fix it.
