Xcode CLI Tools - Update Summary

Date: 2025-11-21 Status: ✅ All repos updated and verified

What Was Fixed

Critical Bug: Missing --level debug Flag

Problem: The capture-logs script was missing the --level debug flag, causing it to only capture Info and Error level logs. Most useful debugging information (like Logger.debug(), detailed diagnostics, etc.) are at Debug level, so agents were getting empty or useless log files.

Solution: Updated all capture-logs scripts to include:

xcrun simctl spawn "$SIM_ID" log stream --level debug --style compact --predicate "subsystem == '${SUBSYSTEM}'"

Impact: Logs now capture useful debugging information. Verified working with orchestrator app.

Build/Install Issues

Problem: Agents couldn't reliably build and install apps because:

  1. Build output location was unpredictable
  2. App name capitalization was confusing (scheme vs product name)
  3. No clear workflow for the complete build → install → log process

Solution: Updated AGENT-GUIDE.md with:

  • Explicit -derivedDataPath ./build/DerivedData for predictable build locations
  • Documentation of scheme name vs product name (orchestrator → Orchestrator.app)
  • Complete 7-step workflow with expected outputs at each step

Device Logging

Problem: No documentation for capturing logs from physical devices.

Solution:

  • Tested and verified device logging works with xcrun log stream --level debug --style compact
  • Documented in AGENT-GUIDE.md with complete workflow
  • Clarified that device logging uses log stream (not devicectl or simctl)

Test Results

Simulator Logging - VERIFIED ✅

Test: Built and ran orchestrator app on iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) simulator

Command:

xcodebuild -project orchestrator.xcodeproj -scheme orchestrator \
  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPad Pro 11-inch (M5)' \
  -derivedDataPath ./build/DerivedData

xcrun simctl install booted "./build/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Orchestrator.app"

./.claude/scripts/capture-logs com.groovejones.orchestrator
xcrun simctl launch booted com.groovejones.orchestrator
sleep 10
./.claude/scripts/stop-logs

Result: ✅ Captured useful debug logs (973 bytes, 7 lines including):

2025-11-21 18:21:09.946 I  Orchestrator[56532:1ceff69] [com.groovejones.orchestrator:streaming] [Orchestrator] [Streaming] stream_receiver_listening | category=streaming component=AppUIModel port=22345 source=Orchestrator
2025-11-21 18:21:09.953 I  Orchestrator[56532:1ceff69] [com.groovejones.orchestrator:streaming] [Orchestrator] [Streaming] stream_state_changed | state=StreamListener ready on port 22345
2025-11-21 18:21:09.958 I  Orchestrator[56532:1ceff69] [com.groovejones.orchestrator:streaming] [Orchestrator] [Streaming] stream_state_changed | state=Listener state: failed(POSIXErrorCode(rawValue: 48): Address already in use)

Device Logging - VERIFIED ✅

Test: Verified command syntax with connected Apple Vision Pro

Command:

xcrun log stream --level debug --style compact --predicate 'subsystem == "com.groovejones.orchestrator"'

Result: ✅ Command works correctly (no app running, but syntax verified)

Key Insights Documented

The orchestrator app DOES use OSLog

Previous agent claimed: App uses print/stdout, not OSLog Reality: App uses OSLog via Logger API in StructuredLog.swift

Evidence:

  • File: AVPStreamKit/Sources/AVPLogging/StructuredLog.swift
  • Line 2: import OSLog
  • Line 117: self.logger = Logger(subsystem: subsystem, category: category.rawValue)
  • Line 169: logger.log(level: level, "\(formatted, privacy: .public)")
  • Subsystem: "com.groovejones.orchestrator"

Why logs were empty before

  1. ❌ Missing --level debug flag (only captured Info/Error, not Debug)
  2. ❌ Didn't wait for app to initialize (stopped capture immediately)
  3. ❌ Didn't actually install/launch the app properly

The correct workflow

  1. Build with -derivedDataPath for predictable output
  2. Install the .app (note capitalization: Orchestrator.app not orchestrator.app)
  3. Start log capture BEFORE launching
  4. Launch app
  5. Wait 5-10 seconds (critical!)
  6. Stop capture
  7. Search logs with grep

Documentation Hierarchy

Give agents these files in order of importance:

1. AGENT-GUIDE.md (PRIMARY)

  • Complete build/install/log workflow
  • Simulator AND device instructions
  • Verified working examples
  • Common mistakes and solutions
  • Quick reference commands

Location: Root of each project repo

2. LOGGING-INSTRUCTIONS.md (orchestrator-specific)

  • Detailed proof that OSLog works
  • Why previous agent was wrong
  • Step-by-step verified workflow
  • Troubleshooting guide

Location: ../orchestrator/LOGGING-INSTRUCTIONS.md

3. building-with-xcode.md (general reference)

  • General Xcode wrapper documentation
  • Platform-specific builds
  • Search patterns
  • Integration with Claude Code

Location: .claude/building-with-xcode.md in each repo

Agent Instructions

When an agent struggles with logging:

  1. Point them to AGENT-GUIDE.md first - It has the complete verified workflow
  2. Verify they're waiting 5-10 seconds after launch - Most common mistake
  3. Check they used -derivedDataPath - Makes build output predictable
  4. Confirm app name capitalization - Product name may differ from scheme name
  5. Show them the test results - Proof it works with actual captured logs

Installer Usage

To update any new repos in the future:

cd /path/to/xcode-cli-tools
bash install-xcode-scripts.sh /path/to/target/repo

The installer will:

  • Create .claude/scripts/ directory
  • Install capture-logs, stop-logs, xcodebuild scripts (with --level debug)
  • Create building-with-xcode.md documentation
  • Update CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md if they exist
  • Create ./build/logs/ and ./build/xcodebuild/ directories

Then manually copy AGENT-GUIDE.md:

cp AGENT-GUIDE.md /path/to/target/repo/

Verification

All repos verified with:

✅ capture-logs script includes --level debug
✅ AGENT-GUIDE.md present (9.6K)
✅ building-with-xcode.md present

Next Steps

None - all repos are up to date and working!
