Can I use this for App Store screenshots?

Yes, it includes status bar override commands to ensure consistent time, battery, and signal icons for professional, submission-ready screenshots.

What tools are required to use this skill?

It primarily requires Xcode Command Line Tools (simctl). Advanced features may benefit from optional tools like idb or applesimutils which are also covered.

How do I send push notifications to the simulator?

You can use the skill's push command combined with a .apns JSON file to send notifications directly to the booted simulator instance.

Is it possible to automate multiple simulators at once?

Yes, the skill supports parallel execution and identifying specific devices by name or UDID for complex multi-device testing scenarios.

Does it support biometric testing?

Absolutely, the skill provides specific commands to simulate both Face ID and Touch ID success and failure states on the simulator.
