## Description

xtool is a suite for automating developer services, cross-platform compilation, application deployment, and mobile device orchestration. It provides tools to build Swift packages into application binaries across different operating systems without requiring a full native development environment.

The project automates the management of developer accounts and service APIs to handle app registration and security certificates. It includes capabilities for signing application binaries and deploying them directly to physical mobile devices for native testing and validation.

The toolset also covers device management and hardware control, enabling the installation, removal, and launching of applications on target devices via a communication bridge.
