- Device workflows: Build, test, install, and launch apps on physical devices with code signing
- macOS workflows: Build, run, and test macOS applications
- Log capture: Stream and capture logs from simulators and devices
- LLDB debugging: Attach debugger, set breakpoints, inspect stack traces and variables, execute LLDB commands
