asc-shots-pipeline

Automate iOS screenshot capture by coordinating build and run steps with Xcode CLI tools, AXe UI actions, and automated framing to produce consistent frames across devices. This pipeline requires configuring settings via .asc/shots.settings.json and .asc/screenshots.json.

The best way to frame iOS screenshots consistently is using deterministic framing with pinned Koubou versions, which ensures visuals remain uniform across devices. This is handled automatically as part of the plan-driven screenshot pipeline.

Yes, this iOS screenshot pipeline works with simctl and integrates straightforwardly into CI workflows or local environments. It uses device discovery and default settings to minimize user input during automated capture and framing.

To run an automated iOS screenshot pipeline, you need Xcode, simctl, AXe, and asc installed. You must also configure the pipeline through specific JSON files before executing the build, capture, frame, and upload steps.

Plan-driven iOS screenshot capture works by defining screenshot plans in JSON configuration files, which AXe then executes as UI actions on discovered devices. This allows the pipeline to build, capture, frame, and upload with minimal user input.

Inconsistent iOS screenshot frames often occur when framing versions are not pinned. Using deterministic framing with pinned Koubou versions ensures consistent visuals across devices, eliminating variations in the final output.
