Anthropic Integrates Apple iOS Simulator Into Claude Code Desktop Beta
Anthropic launched a public beta of Claude Code today that integrates Apple’s iOS simulator directly into the macOS desktop application, placing a live app window in a panel beside the coding conversation.
The feature allows the AI to run, inspect, and interact with interfaces while iterating on code, with developers retaining full manual control at any point. The tool requires Xcode and is available immediately.
