iOS Simulator Skill
Test and debug iOS applications using Xcode simulators without physical devices.
When to Use
- iOS app testing
- UI/UX validation
- Debugging iOS issues
- Automated testing setup
Core Capabilities
- Launch simulators for different iOS versions
- Install and test apps
- Capture screenshots and recordings
- Simulate device conditions (network, location, etc.)
- Automated testing with XCTest
- Accessibility inspector
Key Commands
# List available simulators
xcrun simctl list
# Boot simulator
xcrun simctl boot "iPhone 14"
# Install app
xcrun simctl install booted /path/to/app.app
# Launch app
xcrun simctl launch booted com.example.app
# Screenshot
xcrun simctl io booted screenshot screenshot.png
# Record video
xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo video.mp4
Best Practices
- Test on multiple iOS versions
- Use device-specific simulators
- Leverage accessibility inspector
- Automate with XCUITest
