Library

xtool includes a library that you can use to interact with Apple Developer Services, iOS devices, and more from your own app. You can use this by adding XKit as a SwiftPM dependency.

// package dependency:
.package(url: "https://github.com/xtool-org/xtool", .upToNextMinor(from: "1.2.0"))
// target dependency:

Xtool
这是什么？xtool 是一款跨平台工具，可复刻 Xcode 的核心功能，让你在 Linux、Windows（通过 WSL）或 macOS 上构建、签名并安装以 SwiftPM 包形式编写的 iOS 应用。
这是像 Xcode 那样的完整 IDE，还是仅仅一个命令行构建工具？它主要是一个命令行工具，用于构建、签名和安装以 SwiftPM 构建的 iOS 应用，另外还附带一个库（XKit），你可以把它嵌入自己的工具中与 Apple Developer Services 通信。
怎么安装 xtool 并上手使用？按照对应平台的安装指南操作（Linux/Windows 一条路径，macOS 另一条路径），然后跟随教程创建并运行你的第一个基于 xtool 的应用。
它只能在 macOS 上用，还是也支持 Linux 和 Windows？它可以在 Linux、通过 WSL 的 Windows 以及 macOS 上运行，三者都是一等公民的安装目标。
xtool 究竟能对我的 SwiftPM 包做什么？它可以把 SwiftPM 包构建成 iOS 应用，然后对应用进行签名和安装，涵盖了 Xcode 通常负责的核心构建与部署工作流。
XKit 是什么？XKit 是 xtool 背后的库，让你能在自己的应用中以编程方式与 Apple Developer Services 和 iOS 设备交互，以 SwiftPM 依赖的形式添加。
为什么要用 xtool，而不是直接用装了 Xcode 的 Mac？xtool 让 Linux 或 Windows 上的开发者无需拥有 Mac 就能构建并发布真正的 iOS 应用，使用开放标准而不是 Xcode 的专有工具链。
