FAQPage Schema

How do I automate iOS app builds and testing on a simulator?▼

You can automate iOS app builds and testing on a simulator by discovering projects, booting a simulator, and compiling the app. This process installs and launches the app to capture screenshots and console logs for QA.

Can I capture screenshots and console logs during iOS simulator testing?▼

Yes, during iOS simulator testing the automation installs and launches your app to capture screenshots and console logs. It analyzes these logs to identify build failures and runtime errors.

How does automated testing handle external flows and test failures?▼

Automated testing handles failures by documenting errors and prompting user interaction. It integrates with human verification for external flows, ensuring complex paths are validated before generating a comprehensive test summary.

What's the best way to verify iOS code changes before committing?▼

The best way to verify iOS code changes before committing is to run an automated build and test sequence on a simulator. This checks that new code compiles correctly and doesn't introduce regressions on a simulated device.

Do I need XcodeBuildMCP to run automated simulator tests?▼

Yes, you need XcodeBuildMCP to run automated simulator tests. It serves as the underlying mechanism to boot the simulator, build the app, and execute the test sequences.

What is captured in the test summary when an iOS build fails?▼

When an iOS build fails, the test summary captures error documentation and console logs. It prompts user interaction to resolve the failures and provides a comprehensive overview of the testing results.
