Produce the equivalent of `-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,OS=18.6,name=iPhone 16 Pro Max'` for xcodebuild.\n\n### Use Cases\n\n- Projects that have CI/CD pipelines for running tests that do not utilize the latest iOS version yet.\n- Matching local test invocation to CI/CD pipeline expectations for tests that are affected by OS version (snapshot view testing for example)\n- Ability to create sharable rules for AI agents that can request build or build run with a specific simulator name and version, without the user having to already have a proper instance launched and running\n\n### Example Interactions\n\nMe: \"When you generate or modify code, validate by building to the iOS Simulator using iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 18.6\"\nAgent: Uses iPhone 16 Pro Max destination and iOS 18.6 as target OS in xcodebuild commands to build.\n\nMe: \"Run test target 'X' using the iOS simulator named 'iPhone 16 Pro Max' running OS '18.6' \"\nAgent: Uses iPhone 16 Pro Max destination and iOS 18.6 as target OS in xcodebuild commands to build and run test target.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/opi-smccoole","@type":"Person","name":"opi-smccoole"},"datePublished":"2025-11-10T16:10:21.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/136/XcodeBuildMCP/issues/136"}
