iOS Code Tool

The ios code tool provides static analysis for iOS code snippets, evaluating Swift and Objective-C samples for syntax correctness, API usage, cross-version compatibility, memory safety, threading concerns, and basic performance indicators. It operates without executing code, delivering immediate, deterministic signals that help reviewers and learners understand code quality in isolation.
Conceptually, the tool ingests a snippet plus optional metadata (language, target iOS version, and context), parses it, and runs a combination of lexical checks and rule-based AST analyses. It flags issues such as deprecated APIs, invalid API usage, unsafe unwrapping, and potential memory or concurrency hazards. It then outputs a structured report with a concise summary, a list of warnings, recommended fixes, and a risk score.
Audience and differentiators: target users include individual developers, code reviewers, instructors, and students who need rapid feedback on short code examples. Unique value lies in bilingual support (Swift and Objective-C), explicit API-availability analysis across iOS versions, and a clear mapping from findings to actionable changes. It emphasizes explainability by attaching rationale to each warning and providing concrete code-change suggestions.
Core features and use cases: syntax validation, API-usage checks, deprecation detection, API availability by iOS version, memory-management hints under ARC, and simple performance heuristics. Outputs include analysis_summary, issues, recommendations, risk_score, and estimated_impact. Typical use cases include onboarding new iOS developers, vetting sample code in tutorials, preparing teaching materials, and accelerating code-review workflows.
