A tool installs Codex Mobile iOS builds straight onto an iPhone
can help build iOS apps, but checking the result often still requires going back to a Mac. sqim is a CLI tool that signs iOS builds on the Mac, uploads them to a server, and lets Codex show temporary web pages for installing the app file directly on an iPhone.
The tool is meant to be smoother than common . or VPN setups can be unreliable, and remote simulator streaming can lag while also missing real-device checks such as haptics and camera use.
Setup starts with ` milq-ai/tap/sqim` and then `sqim login`. The phone still needs to be connected through Xcode at least once before this can work.
Key points
- sqim installs iOS builds directly onto an iPhone.
- The Mac signs the build, then the file is uploaded and installed through a temporary web page.
- It is as an alternative to , VPN, and remote simulator .
- Real-device testing helps with camera behavior, haptics, and other phone-only features.
- Xcode must connect to the phone at least once before the tool works.
