XCRSControlKit

XCRSControlKit is the shared Swift package contract for black-box automation of Apple platforms. It provides stable target, capability, and request models that can be used by native test runners and external automation clients.

The package is intentionally transport-neutral. Platform runners remain separate Xcode projects because XCTest and UI testing require platform-specific schemes, host applications, simulator destinations, signing, and entitlements.

Supported platforms

• iOS and iPadOS
• tvOS
• watchOS
• visionOS
• macOS

Installation

Add the package URL to an Xcode project or Swift package:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/ondeinference/xcrs-controlkit.git", from: "0.1.0")
]

Then import the library:

import XCRSControlKit

let capabilities = XCRSControlKitCapabilities.standard(for: .tvOS)
if capabilities.supports(.remoteButtons) {
    // Connect a tvOS runner and send remote-button requests.
}

Runner projects

Runner implementations belong outside the Swift package target. All platforms share one Xcode project generated with XcodeGen:

Runners/
├── project.yml                     # XcodeGen spec
├── XCRSControlKitRunner.xcodeproj  # one project, per-platform targets/schemes
├── Shared/                         # transport + RPC server
├── iOS/                            # iOS / iPadOS host app
├── tvOS/                           # tvOS host app
├── visionOS/                       # visionOS host app
├── macOS/                          # macOS host app
└── watchOS/                        # watchOS host app

Each platform gets its own application and UI-test targets and a matching scheme (ControlKit-iOS, ControlKit-tvOS, ControlKit-visionOS, ControlKit-macOS, ControlKit-watchOS) while importing XCRSControlKit and sharing the transport. See Runners/README.md.

Status

The package provides the public cross-platform contract. Native ControlKit runners currently support iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, visionOS, macOS, and watchOS.
