# Xcode Simulator Test Build and exercise an iOS app on a simulator, preserving screenshots, logs, human-verification results, and failures as evidence for the user. **Done:** - A completed run reports overall `PASS`, `FAIL`, or `PARTIAL` plus project, scheme, simulator, build result, per-surface `PASS` / `FAIL` / `SKIP`, console errors, human checks, and residual failures. - Per-surface status is derived from evidence, not the user's routing choice. `PASS` requires completed passing evidence. `FAIL` records observed failing evidence until a completed retest replaces it. `SKIP` means the check has no completed outcome. - The overall result is `FAIL` while any failure remains, `PARTIAL` when no failure remains but a scoped check is skipped, and otherwise `PASS`. - Any failure before the app is launched with log capture running stops later stages and reports an actionable setup blocker with its evidence. **Boundaries:** this skill tests and reports. Diagnosis and any user-approved product fix belong to `ce-debug`, invoked with its authority narrowed so it returns here without committing, pushing, or opening a PR. Keep simulator interaction within the app and flows the user placed in scope. ## Run 1. **Prepare and launch.** Read `references/setup-and-build.md`. It defines the XcodeBuildMCP availability check, project and scheme discovery, simulator choice, build, install, launch, and log-capture start. 2. **Exercise and report.** After launch, read `references/test-and-report.md`. It defines per-screen evidence, human-only flows, the SwiftUI inline-link automation limitation, what to do when a check fails, cleanup, and the fixed summary fields. Do not replace either required read with remembered tool names. XcodeBuildMCP adapters differ by host, while their observable success conditions do not.
