Claude Code on desktop can now drive the iOS Simulator
All about: Claude Code versions and changes →

Per ClaudeDevs, when Claude Code builds and runs an iOS app, the Simulator opens in a panel next to the chat. Claude can see the running app, interact with it, and keep iterating until the result is done, and you can tap the screen yourself at any point.
It works in Claude Code on desktop, macOS only, and requires Xcode. It’s in public beta today.

Claude Code v2.1.217 caps concurrent subagents at 20 by default and turns off nested subagent spawning, so one message can’t spawn background agents endlessly. The limit is tunable via CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBAGENTS.
