FixKit

Long press anything in your iOS, React Native or Flutter app in the simulator or the Android emulator, say what's wrong, and Claude Code or Codex fixes it.

iOS 17+ Swift 6 React Native 0.80+ Flutter 3.35+ Android emulator Claude Code 2.1.287+ Codex CLI 0.159+ License

Overview • Getting started • Platforms • How it works • Try it on Tally • Troubleshooting

Long presses in the simulator send reports to Claude Code in the terminal: a shifted button, a corner radius, a single-colour chart and the tab bar, each fixed while the app relaunches

FixKit turns a long press in the iOS simulator, or in the Android emulator for React Native and Flutter apps, into a prompt for your coding agent. The report carries your words, a screenshot with the element outlined, and the code behind the element: a SwiftUI file and line, a UIKit property, a React Native component or a Flutter widget. The agent fixes the code and puts the change on screen, and a banner in the app follows the report until the fix is live.

[!TIP] To try FixKit without an app of your own, use Tally, the SwiftUI wallet in this repository with four seeded UI bugs. It takes two commands.

Overview

  1. Long press an element and type what's wrong.
  2. The report lands in your agent session as a prompt.
  3. The agent fixes the code and puts it on screen: a rebuild for SwiftUI and UIKit, Fast Refresh for React Native, hot reload for Flutter.

FixKit has two halves:

  • In the app: a debug-only library that sends reports. The FixKit Swift package for SwiftUI and UIKit, the fixkit npm package for React Native, the fixkit Dart package for Flutter.
  • In the agent: the fixkit plugin, a mod with a Fix queue pane in Claude Code and hooks in Codex. Its local server, the receiver (127.0.0.1:4747), turns each report into a prompt.

Features

  • Works with SwiftUI, UIKit, React Native (Expo Go included) and Flutter apps, and with Claude Code or Codex. React Native and Flutter apps work in the Android emulator too.
  • SwiftUI views report their own file and line with no markup; UIKit views are named after the property that holds them.
  • The long press runs alongside the app's gestures: the pressed button doesn't fire, and scroll views keep scrolling.
  • The composer and banners stay out of the screenshot the agent gets.
  • The app's banner and the Fix queue pane follow each report from queued through fixing and rebuilding to live.
  • Release builds leave FixKit out.

Getting started

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code 2.1.287+ or Codex CLI 0.159+
  • Node.js 18.2+ (22+ for Flutter)
  • Xcode with the iOS simulator; for SwiftUI and UIKit apps, Xcode 16.3+ and iOS 17+
  • For React Native and Flutter on Android: the Android emulator and the SDK's platform-tools (adb), both installed by Android Studio

[!NOTE] FixKit works in the iOS simulator and, for React Native and Flutter, in the Android emulator: not on a physical device.

Recommended:

  • AXe adds what accessibility says about the pressed element to every report: its type, label, value and the labels beside it. Without AXe, reports still name the code the app finds itself. FixKit looks for AXe in FIXKIT_AXE, then on PATH (brew install cameroncooke/axe/axe), then in the copy bundled with XcodeBuildMCP run through npx. On Android the receiver reads the same through adb, with nothing more to install.
  • XcodeBuildMCP rebuilds and relaunches a SwiftUI or UIKit app in one call.

1. Install the plugin

Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add ostiums/fixkit
claude plugin install fixkit@fixkit

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add ostiums/fixkit
codex plugin add fixkit@fixkit

2. Prepare the project

  1. Add .fixkit/ to .gitignore: reports and screenshots go there.
  2. With Claude Code, let it read the screenshots without asking, in .claude/settings.json:
   { "permissions": { "allow": ["Read(./.fixkit/**)"] } }

3. Add FixKit to the app

In a SwiftUI or UIKit app

In Xcode: File › Add Package Dependencies › https://github.com/ostiums/fixkit, rule Branch: main. Or in Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/ostiums/fixkit", branch: "main")

Then add one line:

import FixKit

// SwiftUI, on the root view
WindowGroup {
    ContentView()
        .fixKitHost()
}

// UIKit, on the main window once it is visible
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
window.fixKitHost()

Add FixKit to every target with SwiftUI views, not only the app, and import FixKit in it; otherwise a view from that module is named where it is used, not where it is written. When more than one dynamic framework depends on FixKit, make it a framework too, so the app holds one copy:

// Tuist/Package.swift
#if TUIST
import ProjectDescription

let packageSettings = PackageSettings(productTypes: ["FixKit": .framework])
#endif

Left static, each framework holds its own copy, the views of all but one are named where they are used, and Tuist warns: "Target 'FixKit' has been linked from target 'A' and target 'B', it is a static product so may introduce unwanted side effects."

In a React Native app
npm install --save-dev fixkit
import { FixKitHost } from 'fixkit'

export default function App() {
  return (
    <FixKitHost>
      <RootNavigator />
    </FixKitHost>
  )
}

No Xcode, Podfile or app.json changes. The run commands are under React Native.

In a Flutter app
# pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
  fixkit:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/ostiums/fixkit.git
      path: flutter
import 'package:fixkit/fixkit.dart';

void main() => runApp(const FixKitHost(child: MyApp()));

4. Run it

With Claude Code:

  1. Start claude in the project's root and run a debug build in the simulator or the emulator.
  2. Long press an element, type what's wrong, press Return.

The Fix queue pane lists reports and their status. It opens by itself in terminals 144+ columns wide, or with /fix-queue.

With Codex:

  1. Start codex in the project's root and trust the plugin's hooks when asked (or later in /hooks).
  2. Send any message before the first long press, or start with one: codex "FixKit".
  3. Run a debug build, long press, type, press Return.

[!IMPORTANT] Untrusted hooks don't run, and FixKit starts with the Codex session's first turn. Until both happen, the app shows "FixKit is not listening". The other differences are under Codex.

For React Native and Flutter, start the agent in the folder with package.json or pubspec.yaml: that is how the plugin knows which stack the app uses.

Pointing at the right code

In SwiftUI and UIKit nothing has to be marked: SwiftUI views carry their own lines, UIKit views are named after their properties.

SwiftUI

Every view reports the line its code starts on, the app's view around it and where that view is used:

[fix r1] TransactionRow › Text · Features/Home/TransactionRow.swift:29 · used at Features/Home/HomeView.swift:60 · StaticText "−€7.40" near "Coffee" · .fixkit/reports/r1.png
  • The innermost view wins: a press on a row's amount names the amount's Text, a press between the row's labels names its HStack.
  • Backgrounds and overlays step aside: shapes, colours and spacers lose to the content they sit behind or around.
  • "Used at" follows the code, not where the view is drawn: a view moved by .offset or a header pinned over a row is reported where it is written.
  • .fixable("name") is optional. It names the element (card.holderName › Text) and lets scripted recordings press it. Names may carry data: .fixable("transaction.amount.\(merchant)"). The name goes to the view it is on and the views written inside it, up to the nearest view of the app's own: a .fixable on a .background or a ZStack layer names that layer, not the text over it.
  • .fixScreen("Home") names the screen. With a TabView: .fixScreen(selectedTab.rawValue).

The lines come from a ViewBuilder.buildExpression that FixKit adds in Debug builds: the compiler passes each view's file and line through it, and SwiftUI hands them back with the view's frame, the way Xcode Previews selects views.

Where it falls short:

  • A body with an explicit return is named where it is used, and so is a view from another package.
  • A row scrolled entirely under a bar drawn by the same SwiftUI hierarchy, such as a custom tab bar, can win over the bar where the bar has nothing of its own. Accessibility and the screenshot in the report show what was pressed.
  • The MemberImportVisibility upcoming feature needs import FixKit in every file with views.
  • A builder that must return one concrete type stops compiling in Debug; see Troubleshooting.

[!NOTE] To turn source lines off, depend on FixKit without its default SourceLocations trait: traits: [] on the dependency in Package.swift, or the same in the package's traits in Xcode. An unmarked view is then named by accessibility (with AXe) and a .fixable view by its mark's line. The feature relies on SwiftUI's underscored API for Previews, so this is also the way out if an SDK drops it.

UIKit

FixKit finds the property that holds the pressed view, in the view controller, a custom view or a cell:

[fix r1] ProfileViewController.nameLabel · UILabel "Alex Morgan" · .fixkit/reports/r1.png
  • Outlets, lazy vars and arrays (buttons[2]) are found too; a press on a button's label names the button.
  • The nearest owner wins: a label inside a custom card is named after the card's property.
  • A view without a property is reported by class and screen: UILabel "Alex Morgan" · ProfileViewController screen.
  • A press inside a sheet never names a view beneath it.

To get a file and line as well, mark the view:

let payButton = UIButton(configuration: .filled()).fixable("checkout.pay")

React Native

The fixkit npm package is TypeScript with no native code, so it works in Expo Go and development builds. It needs React Native 0.80+ (React 19.1) with the New Architecture.

In Expo Go, a long press on a card holder's name cut off to "Alex…" sends "The name is cut off" to Claude Code; Claude removes a fixed width in WalletCard.tsx and Fast Refresh shows "Alex Morgan" with the banner "Fixed by Claude Code"

ProjectCommand
Expo Gonpx expo start --ios or --android
Expo development buildnpx expo run:ios or npx expo run:android once, then npx expo start
React Native CLInpx react-native run-ios or npx react-native run-android

Keep Metro running: fixes go live through Fast Refresh, with no rebuild. Native changes (Podfile, Info.plist, AndroidManifest.xml, config plugins) are rebuilt with the command above.

Reports name the components, the JSX line and where the component is used:

[fix r1] WalletCard › Text · src/WalletCard.tsx:11 · used at App.tsx:15 · StaticText "Alex Morgan" · .fixkit/reports/r1.png
  • With AXe, testIDs appear as #id.
  • The pressed button stays still: Pressable, Touchable*, Button and pressable Text don't fire while FixKit holds a press. FixKit wraps React Native's private Pressability for that, so Metro warns once about a deep import. Gesture Handler buttons aren't held.
  • Lines may be a few off after Fast Refresh changes a file, until the next reload.
  • Android's back button closes the composer. With the keyboard up, the first press hides the keyboard and keeps what you typed.
  • Not covered yet: native Modals and natively presented screens, nested <FixKitHost>.

Try it on the example app:

cd react-native/example && npm install && npx expo start --ios    # or: npx expo run:android
claude --plugin-dir ../../mod    # in the same folder

Flutter

The fixkit Dart package is Dart only, with no native code and no dependency beside the Flutter SDK, so nothing changes in the Podfile or the Xcode project. It needs Flutter 3.35+.

A long press on the wallet balance sends "Make the balance green" to Claude Code; Claude changes the colour in wallet_card.dart, calls hot_reload, and the balance turns green under the banner "Fixed by Claude Code"

Run the app with flutter run in the iOS simulator or the Android emulator, from a terminal, VS Code or Android Studio.

Saving a file does not hot reload a Flutter app, so the agent asks for it: in Claude Code with the mod's hot_reload tool, in Codex with a POST to the receiver's /reload. Both go through the VM service flutter run serves, the one DevTools' reload button calls. A compile error comes back to the agent; for a change hot reload can't apply (initState, globals, main), the agent hot restarts the app instead.

Reports name the app's widget around the pressed one, the line of its constructor call and where that widget is used:

[fix r1] WalletCard › Text · lib/wallet_card.dart:20 · used at lib/main.dart:34 · StaticText "€12,480.50" · .fixkit/reports/r1.png
  • Widgets from Flutter and pub.dev packages are skipped for the app's own widget around them.
  • The pressed button stays still: FixKit's long press wins Flutter's gesture arena at 450 ms, before a widget's own 500 ms long press, so the widget under the finger neither taps nor long-presses. An app's long press shorter than 450 ms wins over FixKit's.
  • Lines stay current: a hot reload rebuilds the widgets from the new code.
  • Android's back button closes the composer, on the app's first screen too.
  • Not covered yet: a widget built in a helper method points into that method, not at its caller.

Try it on the example app:

cd flutter/example
claude --plugin-dir ../../mod    # in this folder
flutter run                      # in a second terminal, with the iOS simulator or an Android emulator booted

Codex

With Codex, hooks start the receiver and report progress in place of the mod. Compared with Claude Code:

  • No pane. Progress shows only in the app's banners, which name Codex: "Sent to Codex", "Fixed by Codex". The log is in $TMPDIR/fixkit-codex.log.
  • Only in app projects: a folder, or one above it up to the git root, with an Xcode project or workspace, a Package.swift, a React Native package.json or a Flutter pubspec.yaml. Elsewhere FixKit does nothing.
  • Needs Codex's shared app-server, the default. Sessions started with codex --no-daemon get no reports.
  • Ending the session stops FixKit. Reports already queued run when you resume, but without a banner.
  • Flutter reloads need network access. Codex's default sandbox blocks the POST to /reload, even to 127.0.0.1: approve the command when Codex asks, or allow it for the session with codex -c sandbox_workspace_write.network_access=true.

How it works

app (FixKit) ──POST /report──▶ receiver (node, 127.0.0.1:4747) ──AXe──▶ simulator
      ▲                               │  └─────adb──▶ emulator
      │ GET /status, POST /launched   ▼
      └────────── statuses ◀── Claude Code mod  or  Codex hooks
  • The long press takes 0.5 s in SwiftUI and UIKit, 450 ms in React Native and Flutter. It runs alongside the app's gestures. In SwiftUI and UIKit, at the default Haptic Touch speed, it also wins over a view's .contextMenu: the menu is cancelled before it opens.
  • The composer and banners stay out of screenshots. In SwiftUI and UIKit they live in a separate window above the app and cover sheets; in React Native and Flutter they are drawn over the app and hidden before the screenshot.
  • The receiver asks AXe for the deepest element under the touch and saves the accessibility tree to .fixkit/reports/<id>.ax.json. On Android it reads the tree with uiautomator dump and takes the screenshot with screencap, both through adb.
  • On Android the receiver keeps adb reverse on its port for every device adb lists, checked every 2 s, so the app reaches 127.0.0.1:4747 as it does in the simulator. FixKit looks for adb in FIXKIT_ADB, ANDROID_HOME, ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, on PATH, then in ~/Library/Android/sdk.
  • In Claude Code, the mod submits the report as a prompt and tracks its turn. In Codex, the receiver queues the prompt with codex queue, and hooks report the turn's progress.
  • "Live" means the app launched or reloaded while the agent worked: a relaunch from XcodeBuildMCP, xcodebuild or Xcode's Run, a Fast Refresh, a Flutter hot reload or restart.
  • One session at a time: the newest session takes port 4747.
  • Release builds leave FixKit out: the Swift package compiles to nothing whatever flags the app sets, and FixKitHost in React Native and Flutter returns the app untouched outside debug mode and anywhere but iOS and Android.

Try it on Tally

Tally/ is a SwiftUI wallet with four seeded UI bugs. From the repository's root:

./scripts/reset-demo.sh          # restores the bugs, builds and launches Tally
claude --plugin-dir ./mod        # the plugin from this checkout
WhereLong pressSay
Homethe Send buttonbutton is shifted
Homethe Top up buttoncorners don't match the others
Home or Cardsthe card holder namename is cut off
Home or Activitya green-category amount, such as the salaryincome should be green

The bugs come from the git tag demo-start, so reset-demo.sh brings them back before each run. The scripts use the iPhone 18 Pro simulator; set SIMULATOR for another.

Scripted recordings

SwiftUI and UIKit apps can play reports from a script, for screen recordings. Enable it:

xcrun simctl spawn booted defaults write <bundle id> FixKitDirector -bool YES

Then run a server on 127.0.0.1:4748 that answers GET /next with one step as JSON, status 200:

{"press": "card.holderName", "text": "The name is cut off"}
{"at": [321, 686], "text": "Income should be green"}
{"scroll": 260}
{"defaults": {"selectedTab": "Activity"}}

press targets a .fixable name, at a point. defaults stores string values for the next launch.

[!WARNING] FixKit asks for the next step at launch and after each one, and any status other than 200 makes it ask again at once. Stop the server when the script is done.

Troubleshooting

The app shows "FixKit is not listening". No agent session holds the receiver. Start claude or codex in the project's root; in Codex, trust the plugin's hooks and send a first message. A session started with codex --no-daemon never receives reports.

A SwiftUI builder stops compiling in Debug with an error like this one:

cannot convert return expression of type 'ModifiedContent<Text, FixMarkModifier>' to return type 'Text'

Every view in a builder comes back wrapped, so a builder that must return one concrete type, such as @ViewBuilder title: () -> Text or @ViewBuilder var label: Text, no longer type-checks. Return some View there, drop @ViewBuilder where a single view is returned, or turn source lines off. A builder whose result must be Sendable gets a warning before iOS 26.

A SwiftUI view is named where it is used, not where it is written. Its body has an explicit return, or it comes from another module. In a Tuist or multi-module project, add FixKit and import FixKit to that module too (see Using Tuist).

React Native reports come without a screenshot. With several simulators of the same iOS version booted, the receiver can't tell which one runs the app. Boot one simulator per iOS version.

Android reports come without a screenshot. With several emulators online, the receiver takes the one on the app's API level. A React Native app sends its level; a Flutter app has none to send without native code, so run one emulator at a time.

An Android app shows "FixKit is not listening" while the agent runs. The app reaches the receiver through adb, and the Fix queue pane says when there is none: install the SDK's platform-tools, or point FIXKIT_ADB at adb.

A React Native or Flutter app is treated as a native one, or Codex doesn't start FixKit. Start the agent in the folder with package.json or pubspec.yaml, not above it.

Development

./scripts/test.sh

It runs every check: plugin validation, the mod, receiver and Codex tests, the React Native tests (Node.js 22.18+), the Flutter package's tests and analysis (when flutter is installed), the Swift package's tests and a build without its default trait, and Tally's Debug and Release builds.

21was sent from the iOS app running in the simulator by the fixkit mod: someone long-pressed an element and typed the text above that line. The line holds the report's id and what is known about the element: in SwiftUI, the view's type after the app's view around it, or after the .fixable("name") on it or on a view around it, the file and line where the view's expression starts, and where the app's views around it are used; what accessibility says it is (its type, label, value, the control around it and the labels beside it in the same row); in a UIKit app, the view named after the property that holds it as Type.property, or its class and text, and its view controller as the screen; the screen's name when the app gives one; and a screenshot with the element outlined in red, or a red ring where the finger was.
22
23When a prompt carries that line:
24- Treat the text above it as the request. It may be a bug ("button is shifted") or a change ("make this green").
25- With a file and line, start there: the cause is in that view's expression and its modifiers, in the view around it, or in what is passed where that view is used.
26- When accessibility names something that is not at that line, something drawn over that view was pressed, such as a bar over a list: go by accessibility and the screenshot.
27- With a Type.property name, start at that property's declaration and where it is configured.
28- Without one, find the view by searching the Swift sources for the label and the labels beside it; a label made from data (an amount, a date) is found through the view that formats it, so search the neighbouring fixed labels first.
29- Make the smallest change that does what was asked. Do not refactor.
30- Open the screenshot only when the text and the code leave the request unclear.
31- Then rebuild and relaunch the app in the simulator the way this project builds (XcodeBuildMCP's build_run_sim when it is connected), so the change is on screen: the report counts as fixed once the app has launched again.
32- Answer in one or two sentences: what was wrong and what changed.`
