ios-simulator

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 Require the `agent-device` CLI to be installed separately before driving a simulator: ```bash npm install -g agent-device@latest ``` Treat installation and upgrades as user-owned setup steps. Do not run that command autonomously or substitute a mutable `npx -y agent-device@latest` invocation. For a normal app-driving task, start immediately. Do not probe first with `--help`, `--version`, `devices`, `appstate`, `snapshot`, or `screenshot`. Target iOS explicitly when opening an app or bundle id: ```bash agent-device open <app-or-bundle-id> --platform ios --foreground ``` Follow the initial interactive snapshot and corrective error hints. If the shell reports that `agent-device` is unavailable, stop and ask the user to install it or expose their existing installation on `PATH`. When you finish, if your session booted the simulator, run `agent-device close --shutdown`, unless the user asks to keep it running. Only when the task is specialized or a command shape is unclear, read the relevant version-matched help topic: ```bash agent-device help validate # engineering validation and build freshness 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 # React components, props/state/hooks, render profiling agent-device help scripting # durable replay and CI workflows ```
