Figma Launch Bridge

Start the local SwiftUI companion

This page hands off from Figma’s HTTPS-only `openExternal` flow to the installed macOS companion app, which then starts the local server used by the plugin.

Flow

  1. 1
    The page automatically tries to open the installed companion app.
  2. 2
    If the app is installed, macOS should switch focus and start the local companion server.
  3. 3
    Return to the Figma plugin and use Send to Xcode once the server badge shows online.

Actions

Attempting launch…
If nothing opens, download the companion app, extract it, and open it once so macOS registers the URL handler.

If macOS blocks the app the first time, right-click it and choose Open, then confirm.
