SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates repetitive iOS Simulator interactions, enabling reliable UI testing and faster iteration by removing manual steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gesture automation: tap, swipe, and custom gesture sequences on iOS Simulator.
  • Text input and keyboard interactions for form filling and test scenarios.
  • Screenshots and video capture for test evidence and bug reporting.
  • Accessibility inspection: describe-ui, accessibility tree exploration, and element queries.

Quick Start

Install AXe CLI with brew install cameroncooke/axe/axe. List available simulators with axe list-simulators. Set an UDID: UDID="<simulator-udid>". Run basic interactions, for example: axe tap -x 100 -y 200 --udid $UDID axe type 'Hello World' --udid $UDID
