CoreDeck — AI-Powered Apple Development Tools
eyes and hands for the agentic era.
coredeck is the high-performance middleware that enables ai agents like claude code to build, test, and debug ios applications autonomously.
traditional ios development is a 'black box' for ai. coredeck opens it. by providing a machine-readable bridge to the apple simulator, we enable a true see-act-verify loop that turns static code models into senior ios engineers.
from zero to autonomous / the journey
1. install the coredeck cli
deploy the high-performance middleware to your local macos environment with a single command.
2. verify your toolchain
ensure your xcode, simulator runtimes, and xctree binaries are synchronized and ready for automation.
3. activate license
start your 7-day trial below and activate it via the cli to unlock production features.
4. issue the directive
prompt your agent to build or test. the agent will now use coredeck to 'see' and 'act' inside the simulator.
1. see
capture visual and structural state. the agent receives a compressed json payload containing the screenshot path and every accessibility element.
# request sensory input
$ cdeck ui screen
{
"screenshot": "/tmp/screen.png",
"elements": [{ "label": "Login", "frame": ... }]
}
2. act
interact using semantic identifiers. the background driver maps text labels to coordinates and executes the action with native precision.
# perform semantic tap
$ cdeck ui tap "Login"
{
"success": true,
"action": "tap",
"target": "Login"
}
3. verify
confirm the outcome. agents use assertions to ensure the app transitioned correctly and no visual regression occurred.
# assert visual state
$ cdeck ui assert-visible "Dashboard"
{
"passed": true,
"element": "Dashboard",
"visible": true
}
autonomous debugging session
task: "find why the save button is disabled after entering a name"
Agent: Running cdeck run. App launched on iPhone 16.
Agent: Capturing state with cdeck ui screen.
Detected "NameField" at (40, 200). "Save" button is present but "enabled": false.
Agent: Typing "Anwar" into field.
Agent: Running cdeck ui assert-enabled "Save".
Agent: Analyzing ProfileView.swift. Found character limit logic bug.
Agent: Applying fix. Rebuilding with cdeck build.
Agent: Verification successful. Save button now enabled. Task complete.
hardware-locked licensing.
coredeck pro licenses are cryptographically locked to your machine’s unique hardware fingerprint. start your 7-day trial today to unlock the full potential of agent-led apple development.
- unlimited ui automation actions
- high-performance native driver backend
- priority support for latest xcode versions
trials are tied to your hardware fingerprint and verified via secure handshake.
the command protocol.
coredeck provides a comprehensive surface area for every stage of development. from low-level simulator control to high-level visual assertions, every command is optimized for agentic consumption.
automatically inject coredeck capabilities into claude code, cursor, and codex via the included agent-skill manifest. point your agent to your project and run:
