iOS Specific Workflow Steps
The steps listed below are specific to the iOS build profiles.
You can find the full list of available workflow steps in our workflow marketplace and under each workflow step in this document, you can find the related repository URL, which also includes the documentation for the related step.
Xcode Select (Version)
This step is used to specify the Xcode version to be used during the build process.
Pool-Based Xcode Version Selection
A version other than the Xcode versions on the configuration page should not be entered manually as the Xcode select workflow argument. Because the Xcode versions on the configuration page are the versions installed on runners. Entering an unavailable Xcode version may cause the build to fail.
You can review the documentation for detailed information about the Xcode version selection here.
Cocoapods Install
Runs the Cocoapods install command for dependency management.
Carthage
Runs the Carthage bootstrap/update command for dependency management.
Install Certificates and Profiles

Xcodebuild for Testing

Xcodebuild for Unit and UI Tests

This step installs Tuist and runs tuist generate
with given options.
SwiftLint
This step installs SwiftLint and runs swiftlint with given options.
BrowserStack App Automate - XCUI
