1. Install the plugin using your preferred package manager

💤 lazy.nvim

return {
  "wojciech-kulik/xcodebuild.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
    "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua", -- (optional) to manage project files
    "stevearc/oil.nvim", -- (optional) to manage project files
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter", -- (optional) for Quick tests support (required Swift parser)
  },
  config = function()
    require("xcodebuild").setup({
        -- put some options here or leave it empty to use default settings
    })
  end,
}

Below setup you can add some bindings. Check out here for suggested key bindings.

 

2. Install external tools

brew install xcode-build-server xcbeautify ruby pipx
gem install xcodeproj
pipx install pymobiledevice3

To quickly install all required tools you can run:

cd ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/xcodebuild.nvim
make install

 

3. Setup Neovim For iOS Development

I wrote an article that gathers all the steps required to set up Neovim from scratch to develop iOS and macOS apps:
