The SweetPad extension enables developers to use VS Code or Cursor for the entire Swift application development lifecycle on Apple platforms. It eliminates the need to constantly switch to Xcode by integrating essential tools such as xcodebuild, xcode-build-server, and swift-format. Developers can build, run and debug Swift applications for iOS, macOS and watchOS directly from their IDEs, while also managing simulators and deploying to devices without opening Xcode.
