Developer builds iOS debug tool that lets Claude Code drive apps
A developer created a tool that lets Claude Code directly interact with a running iOS app via a USB bridge, enabling the AI to take screenshots, tap buttons, and read internal state. The tool consists of a tiny HTTP server inside the debug build, an MCP server on the Mac, and a USB tunnel. This closes the feedback loop, allowing Claude to test and debug without human intervention.

Clever hack, but the reliance on debug builds and USB tethering limits real-world utility for most iOS developers.
