How this was made

Learn how to use agentic AI throughout the iOS development process. You’ll set up Claude Agent in Xcode and configure Cursor, then use both tools to add features to an existing SwiftUI app. You’ll also connect an external AI tool to Xcode through its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and use an AI agent to interact with an app running in the simulator.
