Does it support complex gestures like swiping from screen edges?

Yes, it includes presets for edge swipes (top, bottom, left, right) and standard scrolls to simulate realistic user behavior.

Does this skill require any external tools?

Yes, it assumes the AXe CLI tool is already installed on your system to interact with the iOS Simulator.

Can I use this for automated UI testing?

Absolutely. It supports sequential actions, timing delays, and gesture presets specifically designed for multi-step test scenarios.

How do I identify the simulator to automate?

You can use the axe list-simulators command within the skill to retrieve the UDID of the active or available simulators.

Can I record videos of my app using this skill?

Yes, the skill includes commands for both direct video recording to MP4 and streaming via ffmpeg for capturing simulator sessions.

Mobile Development

Automates iOS Simulator interactions including gestures, text input, and hardware buttons using the AXe CLI tool.

Acerca de

This skill enables Claude to programmatically interact with iOS Simulators by leveraging the AXe command-line tool. It facilitates UI automation, accessibility verification, and automated testing by allowing users to simulate complex gestures like taps and swipes, enter text, trigger hardware buttons (Home, Lock, Siri), and even record or stream simulator video. It is particularly useful for mobile developers and QA engineers who need to script repetitive simulator tasks or extract detailed UI hierarchy information for debugging and accessibility audits.
