Writing command line interfaces for iOS apps

Read Original

This technical article details the creation of a command line interface (CLI) for an iOS app to aid in debugging and manual testing. The author argues that while automated tests and internal debug menus are essential, a CLI provides unique advantages. The tool, named chibictl, communicates with the iOS device or simulator from a Mac using the MultipeerConnectivity framework, and the author introduces their simplifying library, MultipeerKit.
