ios-simulator
Verify and debug native, React Native, Expo, or Flutter apps on an iOS Simulator with agent-device. Use when an agent needs to launch an app, inspect its live UI, tap, type, scroll, validate a code change, collect failure evidence, or reproduce a workflow on an iPhone or iPad Simulator.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/callstack/agent-device --skill ios-simulator- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads ios-simulator automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
iOS Simulator
Require the agent-device CLI to be installed separately before driving a simulator:
npm install -g agent-device@latest
Treat installation and upgrades as user-owned setup steps. Do not run that command autonomously or substitute a mutable npx -y agent-device@latest invocation.
For a normal app-driving task, start immediately. Do not probe first with --help, --version, devices, appstate, snapshot, or screenshot. Target iOS explicitly when opening an app or bundle id:
agent-device open <app-or-bundle-id> --platform ios --foreground
Follow the initial interactive snapshot and corrective error hints. If the shell reports that agent-device is unavailable, stop and ask the user to install it or expose their existing installation on PATH.
Only when the task is specialized or a command shape is unclear, read the relevant version-matched help topic:
agent-device help validate # engineering validation and build freshness
agent-device help debugging # screenshots, logs, traces, video, and failures
agent-device help react-native # React Native and Expo runtime guidance
agent-device help react-devtools # React components, props/state/hooks, render profiling
agent-device help scripting # durable replay and CI workflows
