argent-device-interact

You can automate touch interactions across iOS simulators and Android emulators using a unified tool surface that dispatches commands via a device udid. It supports taps, swipes, gestures, typing, screenshots, and orientation changes for consistent cross-platform testing.

The best way to locate UI elements is a discovery-first workflow using accessibility-based discovery commands. You can also use screen description tools or React Native-specific component tree debugging to identify targets before executing gestures.

Yes, cross-platform automated testing works by providing a device udid that auto-dispatches to the correct platform. The same interaction tool names handle both iOS simulator and Android emulator commands, though typing differs slightly with iOS using paste versus cross-platform keyboard input.

To type text during automated testing, iOS simulators use a paste command while Android emulators use a cross-platform keyboard command. Both methods accept normalized coordinates and target the active text field identified during UI discovery.

Yes, you can batch multiple device interactions into a single call using deterministic sequencing. This allows you to group taps, swipes, and text input together when visual confirmation between steps is not required.

Automated gesture taps miss targets when coordinates are not normalized to the 0.0 to 1.0 range. You must use normalized coordinates and ensure the correct tool schema is loaded for gesture tools to accurately hit the discovered UI elements.
