name = "actool"
description = "Xcode asset-catalog compiler that verifies, prints, updates, and compiles `.xcassets` documents into `Assets.car` binaries used at runtime by iOS/macOS/tvOS/watchOS apps. With --compile <path> it writes a CAR file (and optional partial Info.plist) to disk; with --print-contents or --version it only reads and emits a plist on stdout. All input/output paths are local file system; no network access. The flag surface is large but well-defined (~30 flags for compile, sticker pack, ODR, output, listing, version) and changes only with new Xcode releases. Ships with Xcode; release cadence follows Xcode majors."
