xctool is an archived build tool developed by Facebook for running Xcode builds and tests from the command line. It aimed to provide better output formatting, faster test execution, and improved integration with CI systems. Although deprecated, it was widely used before xcodebuild matured with similar functionality.

Features

  • Builds and tests Xcode projects from the command line
  • JSON-formatted output for integration with CI tools
  • Parallel test execution to improve speed
  • Human-readable output with color-coded logs
  • Command-line filtering by test name or class
  • Compatibility with various Xcode versions (at the time)
