Audit Permission Changes
This component captures and compares permission changes in your iOS projects.
Azure Bot for SwiftLint
This step integrates Azure Bot with SwiftLint to provide feedback on code quality.
BrowserStack App Automate - XCUI
Run your XCUI tests on BrowserStack App Automate. You need to add Xcodebuild Build for Testing before this step to create the required $AC_TEST_IPA_PATH and $AC_UITESTS_RUNNER_PATH files.
Carthage
Runs the Carthage bootstrap/update command for dependency management.
CocoaPods Deintegrate
This step runs the pod deintegrate command to remove CocoaPods from the project.

Convert Xcresult to HTML/XML
This step converts Xcresult files to HTML or XML format.
Firebase Upload dSYM
Upload your debug symbols to Firebase Crashlytics
Install Certificates and Profiles
This step installs the selected certificates and the provisioning profile for the build.
iOS Increment Build and Version
This step increments the build number and version number of the iOS project.
Slather
This step converts Xcode's test results to different formats by using Slather. This workflow must be run after Xcodebuild for Unit and UI Tests step.
SwiftLint
This step installs SwiftLint and runs swiftlint with given options.
Test Reports for iOS
This component provides detailed reports and insights on the results of iOS app tests conducted.
For detailed information on the usage of Test Reports for iOS, please refer to the documentation:
Tuist Commands
This step runs specific Tuist Commands such as tuist build or tuist test.
Tuist Install
This step installs Tuist and runs tuist generate with given options.
Xcode Select (Version)
This step is used to specify the Xcode version to be used during the build process.
Pool-Based Xcode Version Selection
A version other than the Xcode versions on the configuration page should not be entered manually as the Xcode select workflow argument. Because the Xcode versions on the configuration page are the versions installed on runners. Entering an unavailable Xcode version may cause the build to fail.
You can review the documentation for detailed information about the Xcode version selection here.
Xcodebuild for Devices (Archive & Export)
This step builds your application for iOS devices in ARM architecture, which is required for the Share With Testers feature or any other means of iOS distribution.
Xcodebuild for iOS Simulator
This step builds your application for the iOS Simulator in x86_64 or arm64 architecture. This step creates an unsigned xarchive file. You may also optionally install the application for given simulator.
Xcodebuild for Testing
This step builds your application for testing.
Xcodebuild for Unit and UI Tests
This step performs unit and UI tests for your iOS applications. This does not "build" your app, but uses the "xcodebuild" command to run tests. To build your app for testing, please refer to the previous workflow step.
