Build your iOS app and upload to TestFlight from your phone

1. Create a free account and install BCD on your Mac by pasting one command into Terminal.

2. Click Approve in your browser to connect that Mac to your account.

3. Add BCD to ChatGPT or Claude as a connector, then ask in plain words.

Finds your projects
Lists the Xcode projects on the Mac with their schemes and build configurations.

Builds in the background
Builds, tests on an iPhone simulator, archives or uploads to TestFlight as a background job that keeps going when your phone sleeps.

Summarizes the result
Compiler errors, failing tests and whether the upload went through come back in a few lines, ready for the AI to fix.

New computers start read-only: the AI can look but can’t change anything. Writing files and running commands only work after you turn them on for that Mac in your dashboard. There are no open ports: the Mac connects out to BCD.

Building needs process permission on that Mac. Before a TestFlight upload, the AI asks you to confirm.

Where is my App Store Connect key kept?
On your Mac, in ~/.appstoreconnect. It never leaves the Mac; the upload runs there.

Do my files get uploaded?
BCD doesn’t copy your folders anywhere. When the AI reads a file, that content passes through BCD’s relay in memory to reach your AI app, and BCD doesn’t store it. Your AI app handles it under its own policy.

Do I need a paid plan?
No. One Mac is free. New accounts can also try Personal, for up to 3 Macs, free for a month, with no card needed.
