SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill verifies iOS app behavior on a simulator or connected device when you need to confirm that a UI change, interaction flow, or launch path actually works in practice.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Device session handling: Start, reuse, and end verification sessions for focused testing.
  • UI observation: Capture screenshots and accessibility hierarchies to inspect what the app is really rendering.
  • Interaction testing: Tap, swipe, type, rotate, and use hardware controls to validate real user flows.
  • Bug detection: Catch broken navigation, unresponsive controls, cropped text, overlap, wrong colors, crashes, and other device-only issues.

Quick Start

Use the device-interaction skill to launch the iOS app on a simulator or connected device, capture the hierarchy and screenshot, exercise the relevant controls, and report any functional or visual issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify iOS app UI behavior on a simulator or connected device?

To verify iOS app UI behavior on a simulator or connected device, you need to capture screenshots, inspect the accessibility hierarchy, and exercise touch interactions to validate real user flows and report functional or visual defects.

Can I test touch interactions and gestures in a SwiftUI app?

Yes, you can test touch interactions and gestures in a SwiftUI app by simulating taps, swipes, typing, and hardware controls like rotation to validate real user flows on an iOS simulator or connected device.

What is accessibility hierarchy inspection used for in iOS UI testing?

Accessibility hierarchy inspection is used in iOS UI testing to examine what the app is really rendering, allowing you to catch broken navigation, unresponsive controls, cropped text, overlap, and other device-only visual or functional defects.

How do I detect device-only visual defects like text overlap or wrong colors?

You detect device-only visual defects like text overlap or wrong colors by capturing screenshots and inspecting the accessibility hierarchy during a focused verification session on a real iOS device or simulator.

Does iOS UI verification work for checking launch flows and regression issues?

Yes, iOS UI verification works for checking launch flows and regression issues by starting a device session, capturing the hierarchy and screenshot, exercising relevant controls, and reporting any functional or visual problems encountered.

What are the limitations of using an iOS simulator for UI verification?

When using an iOS simulator for UI verification, limitations include the inability to fully replicate real hardware performance and certain hardware controls, though you can still capture screenshots, inspect accessibility hierarchies, and simulate touch interactions.
