SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you reliably boot an iOS simulator and establish a working connection so you can start running iOS interaction tasks without guessing device state or UDIDs.

Core Features & Use Cases

Boot and select a suitable simulator: Finds a booted iOS device and boots one when none are currently running.
Verify readiness for interaction: Ensures gesture and interaction tools can connect (with auto-start behavior when needed).
Reusable session prerequisite: Use it before any simulator-interaction work such as taps, swipes, or scripted UI actions, especially at the start of a new agent session.

Quick Start

Use the argent-ios-simulator-setup skill to list devices, boot an iOS simulator if necessary, and get the correct UDID for subsequent simulator interaction.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up an iOS simulator for automated interaction tasks?▼

To set up an iOS simulator for automated interaction, use this skill to list available devices, boot a simulator if none are running, and retrieve the correct UDID for deterministic gesture workflows. It ensures your session is ready for UI actions.

What is the best way to boot an iOS simulator using a specific UDID?▼

The best way to boot an iOS simulator by UDID is using the argent boot-device MCP tool. This skill automates the process, selecting a booted device or booting your specified UDID and verifying tool connectivity for subsequent tasks.

Do I need to manually boot a simulator before running automated UI tests?▼

You do not need to manually boot a simulator before automated UI tests. This skill checks for booted iOS devices and automatically boots one if necessary, verifying interaction tool connectivity as a pre-flight check for your session.

Why does my iOS simulator session fail to connect before gesture-driven tasks?▼

iOS simulator sessions fail to connect when no device is booted or the UDID is incorrect. This skill resolves the issue by listing devices via MCP tools, booting the correct simulator, and ensuring interaction tools are connected.

Can I use MCP tools to verify iOS simulator readiness for scripted actions?▼

You can use MCP tools like list-devices and boot-device to verify iOS simulator readiness for scripted actions. This skill ensures gesture and interaction tools can connect, providing auto-start behavior when needed for deterministic workflows.
