ios-simulator

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Verify and debug native, React Native, Expo, or Flutter apps on an iOS Simulator with agent-device. Use when an agent needs to launch an app, inspect its live UI, tap, type, scroll, validate a code change, collect failure evidence, or reproduce a workflow on an iPhone or iPad Simulator.

iOS Simulator

Use

agent-device

on an iOS Simulator to verify a running app. Work from the live UI, act on current refs or selectors, and verify the result before closing the session.

For an app or bundle id, open it in the foreground:

bash

agent-device open <app-or-bundle-id> --platform ios --foreground

open

returns the initial interactive snapshot. Use its current refs or a selector. For a planned action, use

--settle

. If the settled diff shows the next target, continue from it:

bash

agent-device press @eN --settle
agent-device fill @eN "text" --settle

Run

agent-device snapshot -i

only when the settled diff does not show the next target.

type

never takes

--settle

; verify it with a snapshot or named

wait

. Keep state-changing commands serial. Verify the end state with a selector or exact text, then close:

bash

agent-device close

For non-routine work, use the version-matched CLI help:

bash

agent-device help validate

Read only the relevant follow-up topic for specialized work:

bash

agent-device help debugging       # screenshots, logs, traces, video, and failures
agent-device help react-native    # React Native and Expo runtime guidance
agent-device help react-devtools  # component tree, props/state/hooks, and renders
agent-device help scripting       # durable replay and CI workflows

If platform help says a capability is unavailable, follow it. Keep diagnostic output when verification fails.
