Privacy

Status: Implemented

Overview

Manages simulator privacy permissions for apps. Wraps xcrun simctl privacy to grant, revoke, or reset access to protected services.

Tool

bazel_ios_privacy

Grant, revoke, or reset a privacy permission on a simulator.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
action	string	yes	grant, revoke, or reset
service	string	yes	Privacy service (e.g. photos, camera, microphone, location, contacts, calendars, reminders, motion, health, siri, speech-recognition)
bundleId	string	no	App bundle identifier (required for grant/revoke, optional for reset)
simulatorId	string	no	Simulator UDID (default: first booted)

CLI

xcodebazelmcp privacy grant photos com.example.MyApp
xcodebazelmcp privacy revoke camera com.example.MyApp
xcodebazelmcp privacy reset location com.example.MyApp
xcodebazelmcp privacy reset all

Implementation

Runs xcrun simctl privacy <udid> <action> <service> <bundleId>. The reset action can be used with or without a bundle ID — without one, it resets the permission for all apps. Using all as the service resets every permission.
