iPhone zip
Put SwimView on the iPhone
This is not the App Store. You download a zip, open it on a Mac, hang the iPhone on a cable, and press Run in Xcode. After that the app sits on the home screen like any other app.
What you need
- • A Mac (Windows cannot install this on iPhone).
- • The iPhone and a USB cable (Lightning or USB-C). Unlock the iPhone.
- • Garmin Connect already on the iPhone, watch already paired there.
- • A free Apple ID. No paid Developer Program.
- • Xcode from the Mac App Store (free, large download the first time).
01
Download the zip
On this page tap the green button. The file SwimViewPlanner-iOS.zip lands in Downloads. You can also AirDrop the zip from another computer onto the Mac.
02
Unzip on the Mac
In Finder, double-click the zip. You get a folder with SwimViewPlanner.xcodeproj inside. Leave that folder together — do not move only the .xcodeproj file out.
03
Install Xcode if needed
Open the Mac App Store, search Xcode, Get / Install. Open it once and accept the license. First install can take a while.
04
Open the project
Double-click SwimViewPlanner.xcodeproj. If Xcode asks to Trust / Open, accept. Wait until the left sidebar shows the SwimView Planner files.
05
Plug the iPhone into the Mac
Use a data cable, not a charge-only cable. Unlock the iPhone. If it says “Trust This Computer?”, tap Trust and enter the iPhone passcode. On the Mac, if Finder asks to trust the iPhone, confirm.
06
Select the iPhone in Xcode
At the top of Xcode, next to the Play button, open the device list. Choose your iPhone by name. Do not pick iPhone 16 / any Simulator. If the phone is grey, unplug, unlock, plug in again, and wait until it appears.
07
Sign in with your Apple ID
Xcode → Settings (or Preferences) → Accounts → + → Apple ID. Use a normal free Apple ID. Then click the blue SwimView Planner project name on the left, select the SwimView Planner target, open Signing & Capabilities, and set Team to that Apple ID. Leave automatically manage signing on. The bundle is com.swimview.companion.
08
Press Run (the Play button)
Click the triangle Play button, or Product → Run. The first build can take a few minutes. Keep the cable in. The iPhone must stay unlocked until the app appears.
09
Trust the developer on the iPhone
If the app icon is there but will not open: Settings → General → VPN & Device Management (or Device Management). Tap your Apple ID → Trust. Then open SwimView Planner.
10
Garmin Connect must stay on the phone
Open Garmin Connect first, confirm the watch is connected. Then open SwimView Planner and send workouts. Do not pair the watch inside SwimView.
11
After about 7 days
With a free Apple ID the app on the iPhone stops opening. Plug the iPhone into the Mac again, open the same project, select the iPhone, press Run. You do not need to download the zip again. The zip never expires.
