Open-source xtool lets developers build iOS apps without Xcode

Original: xtool-org/xtool

The xtool project, an open-source tool written in Swift, offers a cross-platform alternative to Apple's Xcode, letting developers build and deploy iOS apps using Swift Package Manager on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Developers are watching the project as it removes the need for a Mac in iOS development, a long-standing pain point outside the Apple ecosystem.

Why now: It challenges Apple's requirement that iOS apps be built with Xcode on a Mac, which is significant for developers on other platforms.
