# Building and testing Apple platform apps in development environments

Run builds, execute test suites on simulators, and diagnose build failures automatically

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=building-and-testing-apple-platform-apps-in)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/building-and-testing-apple-platform-apps-in/index.md)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive mobile build or test request
- ThenCompile project and execute tests
- ResultDeliver test report and build analysis

Automate local build and testing workflows for native Apple ecosystem applications. The bot inspects project schemes, compiles targets against simulator destinations, executes test packages, and parses diagnostic logs to report compiler warnings and failing test assertions directly within the workspace.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Inspect the local workspace configuration and available schemes before launching a build. Use the terminal to execute builds and run test suites against specified simulator targets. Summarize compiler errors, broken assertions, and crash logs clearly. Always ask for explicit user approval before clearing derived data, deleting build artifacts, or altering project configuration files.
