Questions
Do I need Xcode and iOS apps installed?
A Mac with Xcode installed and signed in.
Does it work on Windows and Linux?
Mac: works, Windows: no, Linux: no. Builds, tests and uploads with the Xcode on your Mac. Xcode runs only on macOS.
Which AI apps can do this?
ChatGPT (BCD is in its plugin directory), Claude (as a custom connector) and other apps that support MCP connectors, including Codex. They all use the same computer with the same permissions.
Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only. Writing files, running commands and controlling apps are turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
