As a result:\n\n- Workflow selection is a flat list with no smart defaults — users don't know which workflows are relevant for their platform.\n- The simulator prompt appears even for macOS-only projects that don't need one.\n- There's no `platform` written to `sessionDefaults`, so the agent has to guess the platform on every command.\n\n### Proposed changes\n\n**Platform selection step** — a multi-select prompt asking which platforms the project targets (macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS). Previous choices are pre-loaded on re-run, inferred from `sessionDefaults.platform`, `sessionDefaults.simulatorPlatform`, or the existing workflow set.\n\n**Smart workflow pre-selection** — based on the selected platforms, the wizard pre-seeds the workflow selection with the appropriate set (e.g. macOS-only gets the macOS + common workflows; iOS gets the simulator workflow set). Users can override freely.\n\n**Skip simulator and device prompts for macOS-only** — when macOS is the only selected platform, both the simulator and physical device selection prompts are skipped entirely.\n\n**`platform` written to `sessionDefaults`** — for single-platform selections, `platform` is persisted to `config.yaml`. For multi-platform projects it is omitted so the agent can choose per-command. On macOS-only, stale `simulatorId`/`simulatorName`/`deviceId` are cleaned up from the config.\n\n**`--format mcp-json` includes `XCODEBUILDMCP_PLATFORM`** — when a single platform is selected, the ready-to-paste MCP config JSON block includes `XCODEBUILDMCP_PLATFORM`.\n\n---\n\n_Note: #269 originally tracked this feature and was closed pointing to #272, but the platform wizard described there was not part of that PR. This issue picks up the remaining work._\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ichoosetoaccept","@type":"Person","name":"ichoosetoaccept"},"datePublished":"2026-03-17T20:26:55.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/280/XcodeBuildMCP/issues/280"}
