Contributions
Close the loop between a remote build and a real phone
Sqim supplies a Mac command-line tool and installation flow for putting iOS builds on an iPhone. Agent setup files let a coding assistant invoke the workflow, while a dashboard retains projects and builds. The documented sideloading path requires a paid Apple developer account; it is intended for trying the real app, not just a browser mockup.[3]
Keep the agent workspace on the device
FreeMilk provides file editing, local Git and GitHub integration on an iPhone, with execution environments for web projects and scripts. Swift applications use remote Macs for compilation and streamed previews. This distinguishes where the workspace and files live from where every kind of build executes. The service funds model access through ads and daily allowances.[4]
