xcbuild
An Xcode-compatible build tool for faster incremental builds on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
What is xcbuild?
xcbuild is an open-source, Xcode-compatible build tool developed by Facebook that provides faster incremental builds and cross-platform support. It allows developers to build Xcode projects and workspaces on macOS, Linux, and Windows using the same command-line interface as xcodebuild, while leveraging Ninja and llbuild for improved performance.
iOS and macOS developers who need faster build times, cross-platform build capabilities, or better insight into the Xcode build process, particularly those working in CI/CD environments or on non-macOS systems.
Developers choose xcbuild for its significant speed improvements in incremental builds, full compatibility with existing Xcode projects, and the ability to build on Linux and Windows without sacrificing the familiar xcodebuild workflow.
