build-ios-apps is a Codex plugin by OpenAI (version 0.1.2, MIT license) that packages a set of iOS and Swift development workflows. It covers designing App Intents and App Shortcuts, building or refactoring SwiftUI UI, mirroring the iOS Simulator inside the Codex in-app browser, and performance/leak debugging via ETTrace and memgraph analysis. It relies on XcodeBuildMCP-backed flows for simulator build, run, and debug tasks. The plugin is organized as nine distinct skills, each with its own SKILL.md and supporting files. It is listed under the Developer Tools category with Interactive, Read, and Write capabilities.

Overview

According to the plugin.json and README, build-ios-apps is a Codex plugin (not a standalone SaaS) developed by OpenAI. It bundles iOS/Swift development skills and wires in the XcodeBuildMCP MCP server to support simulator-based build, run, and debug workflows inside Codex.
