Build and launch BrewBar for manual testing.
Steps:
-
Build the app in Debug configuration:
xcodebuild \ -project BrewBar.xcodeproj \ -scheme BrewBar \ -configuration Debug \ -destination "platform=macOS" \ build \ SYMROOT=build \ 2>&1If the build fails, stop here and report the errors with explanations.
-
If the build succeeds, open the built app:
open build/Debug/BrewBar.app -
Tell the user:
- The app is a menu bar app (.accessory policy) — it will NOT appear in the Dock, only in the menu bar at the top right of the screen
- Look for the BrewBar icon in the menu bar to confirm it launched
- Clicking the icon opens the menu; the app runs Homebrew commands in the background
- To quit, use the Quit option in the app's menu
Note: If a previous instance is already running, macOS may bring it forward instead of launching a new one. Quit the existing instance first if you need a fresh launch.
