Build, test, and drive iOS apps in the Simulator with 31 token-efficient scripts. Use when asked to build or test an Xcode project, launch an app on a simulator, tap/type/swipe through its UI by accessibility label, take screenshots or visual diffs, audit accessibility, read logs or diagnose hangs, or manage simulators (boot, erase, permissions, location, push, appearance). macOS only; needs Xcode, Python 3.12+ and idb.

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 Skill

Build, test, and automate iOS applications using accessibility-driven navigation and structured data instead of pixel coordinates.

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Check environment
bash scripts/sim_health_check.sh

# 2. Launch app
python3 scripts/app_launcher.py --launch com.example.app

# 3. Map screen to see elements
python3 scripts/screen_mapper.py

# 4. Tap button
python3 scripts/navigator.py --find-text "Login" --tap

# 5. Enter text
python3 scripts/navigator.py --find-type TextField --enter-text "user@example.com"
```

**Paths:** `scripts/` is relative to the directory containing this SKILL.md, not the user's project.
Examples write `scripts/...` for brevity; run them by absolute path from the user's project
(e.g. `python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/navigator.py ...`) so relative Xcode project paths still resolve.

All scripts support `--help` for detailed options; most support `--json` for machine-readable output.

## Navigation Strategy

**Always prefer the accessibility tree over screenshots for navigation.** The accessibility tree gives you element types, labels, frames, and tap targets — structured data that's cheaper and more reliable than image analysis.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add conorluddy/ios-simulator-skill/ios-simulator-skill@sha256:3a77551b707c65b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.8.0, 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.
