SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables automated, end-to-end testing of iOS/macOS apps on the simulator by coordinating building, installation, launching, screenshot capture, and log analysis via the XcodeBuildMCP server.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build for the iOS simulator, install the app on a chosen or default simulator.
  • Launch the app and capture logs and screenshots to verify behavior and UI integrity.
  • Analyze logs for crashes or errors and provide structured guidance for debugging.

Quick Start

Run the /xcode-test command to start testing your project on the simulator.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate iOS simulator testing for my Xcode project?

Automated iOS simulator testing coordinates building, installing, launching, and capturing logs for your app using XcodeBuildMCP. It validates behavior and UI integrity across multiple schemes and configurations without manual intervention.

Can I capture and analyze crash logs from the iOS simulator automatically?

Yes, automated simulator testing captures runtime logs and screenshots during app launch. It analyzes these logs to identify crashes or errors and provides structured guidance to help you debug the underlying issues.

What do I need to run end-to-end macOS and iOS app testing on a simulator?

End-to-end simulator testing requires Xcode and XcodeBuildMCP availability, a valid Xcode project or workspace, and at least one configured simulator to execute the build, install, and launch sequence.

Does automated Xcode testing support multiple schemes and configurations?

Yes, XcodeBuildMCP coordinates simulator QA across multiple schemes and build configurations. It reliably builds, installs, and launches your app for each setup to verify behavior and capture logs.

What is the best way to verify UI integrity during iOS simulator QA?

Automated XcodeBuildMCP testing captures screenshots upon launching your app on the simulator. This visual output, combined with log analysis, verifies UI integrity and flags behavioral anomalies for debugging.

Why does my iOS simulator test fail to launch the app after building?

Simulator launch failures often stem from missing prerequisites like XcodeBuildMCP availability, an invalid project workspace, or no configured simulator. Verify these dependencies to ensure the build and install sequence completes successfully.
