Screenshot & Video
# Screenshot (auto-generates filename)
axe screenshot --udid $UDID
# Screenshot to specific path
axe screenshot --output ~/Desktop/screenshot.png --udid $UDID
# Video recording to MP4
axe record-video --udid $UDID --fps 15 --output recording.mp4
axe record-video --udid $UDID --fps 10 --quality 60 --scale 0.5 --output low-bandwidth.mp4
# Stream MJPEG
axe stream-video --udid $UDID --fps 10 --format mjpeg > stream.mjpeg
# Pipe to ffmpeg
axe stream-video --udid $UDID --fps 30 --format ffmpeg | \
ffmpeg -f image2pipe -framerate 30 -i - -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast output.mp4
Press Ctrl+C to stop recording. AXe finalizes MP4 and prints path to stdout.
Accessibility Inspection
# Full screen accessibility tree
axe describe-ui --udid $UDID
# Accessibility info at specific point
axe describe-ui --point 100,200 --udid $UDID
Automation Patterns
Wait-then-tap pattern
axe tap --label "Continue" --pre-delay 2.0 --udid $UDID
Scroll to find element
for i in {1..5}; do
axe describe-ui --udid $UDID | grep -q "targetElement" && break
axe gesture scroll-down --udid $UDID
done
axe tap --label "targetElement" --udid $UDID
Form filling
axe tap --label "Email" --udid $UDID
axe type 'user@example.com' --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Password" --udid $UDID
axe type 'secret123' --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Sign In" --udid $UDID
Screenshot after action
axe tap --label "Submit" --post-delay 1.0 --udid $UDID
