About the project

Cross-platform Xcode replacement: builds SwiftPM packages into iOS apps, signs and installs them on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Also ships the XKit library for interacting with Apple Developer Services and iOS devices.

Useful for
  • Build an iOS app from a SwiftPM package on Linux without Xcode
  • Install and launch an ipa on a connected iOS device from the CLI
  • Automate Apple Developer Services workflows using the XKit library

7.7 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 13, 2026, 11:54 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-13 (UTC), 10:53–11:38: 8505 → 8566 stars (+61). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +401 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 7.9× that of the previous week and a half.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending today: #9, +936 stars.
  • About 76 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 2,860. +10900% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
