xcodebuild

The xcodebuild command is used to build XCode projects. It provides a convenient way to execute xcodebuild, as well as applying a xcodebuild post-processor to the command output by default.

The xcodebuild command is based on the executable command, thus all attributes and child elements valid for the executable command are also valid for the xcodebuild command.
