 alias to dynamically generate the name of binaries, but a lot of C tooling
 expects that ``CC`` will not contain spaces.
 
+Each slice of an iOS/tvOS/watchOS XCframework also contains a
+``platform-config`` folder with a subfolder for each supported architecture in
+that slice. These subfolders can be used to make a macOS Python environment
+behave as if it were on an iOS/tvOS/watchOS device. This works in one of two
+ways:
+
+1. **A sitecustomize.py script**. If the ``platform-config`` subfolder is on
+   your ``PYTHONPATH`` when a Python interpreter is started, a site
+   customization will be applied that patches methods in ``sys``, ``sysconfig``
+   and ``platform`` that are used to identify the system.
+
+2. **A make_cross_venv.py script**. If you call ``make_cross_venv.py``,
+   providing the location of a virtual environment, the script will add some
+   files to the ``site-packages`` folder of that environment that will
+   automatically apply the same set of patches as the ``sitecustomize.py``
+   script whenever the environment is activated, without any need to modify
+   ``PYTHONPATH``. If you use ``build`` to create an isolated PEP 517
+   environment to build a wheel, these patches will also be applied to the
+   isolated build environment that is created.
+
+iOS distributions also contain a copy of the iOS ``testbed`` project - an Xcode
+project that can be used to run test suites of Python code. See the `CPython
+documentation on testing packages
+<https://docs.python.org/3/using/ios.html#testing-a-python-package>`__ for
+details on how to use this testbed.

 For a detailed instructions on using the support package in your own project,
 see the `usage guide <./USAGE.md>`__
