What's Wrong?

Claude always asks to run xcodebuild and does not give me a way to whitelist it:

 Bash command

   xcodebuild test -project "someproject.xcodeproj" -scheme "redacted" -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16 Pro'
   -only-testing:"someprpojectFractionModelTests/testEquality" -only-testing:"redacted"
   -only-testing:"redacted" 2>&1 | grep -E "(Test Suite.*tests.*passed|Test Suite.*tests.*failed|BUILD)" | tail -5
   Verify all 3 tests pass

 Do you want to proceed?
 ❯ 1. Yes
   2. No, and tell Claude what to do differently (esc)

from .claude/settings.local.json:

``{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"Bash(xcodebuild test:*)",
"Bash(xcrun simctl list:*)",
"Bash(xcodebuild:*)",
"Bash(find:*)",
...
}
``

What Should Happen?

Claude should ask if I want to allow this command as it does for other commands
