Drive an iOS Simulator headlessly on macOS: discover and boot a device, install and launch an app, drive its UI by accessibility (AXe) rather than brittle coordinates, capture screenshots, and navigate the simulator's own chrome, menus, and execution modes. The iOS analog of android-emulator-harness and playwright-harness. Project-agnostic core; Expo/React-Native specifics live in expo-ios-simulator, and "make the app driveable" lives in mobile-accessibility. Use for any task that is…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# iOS Simulator (core, project-agnostic) The kernel for driving an iOS Simulator on macOS. Layers sit ON TOP of this: **expo-ios-simulator** (the Expo/React-Native runtime), **mobile-accessibility** (the tree you drive against), **ios-simulator-triage** (when it breaks), and **ios-simulator-flow-evidence** (capturing proof). Everything here goes through `xcrun simctl` and AXe; the Simulator app window is touched only for what the CLI cannot do. ## Before anything Run the checks and install the driver: `prerequisites.md`. In short, macOS with Xcode (so `xcrun simctl`), a booted simulator, and **AXe** (`brew install cameroncooke/axe/axe`). ## The loop 1. **Boot, install, launch** an app on a device (`references/lifecycle.md`): find the booted UDID, `simctl install`, `simctl launch`. 2. **Drive by accessibility, not coordinates** (`references/driving.md`): `axe tap --id` or `--label`, `axe type`, `axe swipe` or `gesture`. See **mobile-accessibility** for what makes an app addressable. 3. **Capture** (`references/capture.md`): `simctl io ... screenshot`; the screenshot is the device framebuffer, so window size and position never matter. Verify it with vision. …

How to install
mdr add simiancraft/simiancraft-skills/ios-simulator@sha256:0cbe8f039d1a4483The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.078420a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
