Test iOS apps in a simulator with XcodeBuildMCP. Use when iOS changes need simulator evidence before handoff.

- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
The skill facilitates building and testing iOS applications within a simulator environment using Xcode tools and a third-party adapter from Sentry. Security considerations include the installation of external tools and the potential for indirect prompt injection from application logs.

What does this agent skill do?
Xcode Simulator Test
Build and exercise an iOS app on a simulator, preserving screenshots, logs, human-verification results, and failures as evidence for the user.
Done:
- A completed run reports overall
PASS,FAIL, orPARTIALplus project, scheme, simulator, build result, per-surfacePASS/FAIL/SKIP, console errors, human checks, and residual failures. - Per-surface status is derived from evidence, not the user's routing choice.
PASSrequires completed passing evidence.FAILrecords observed failing evidence until a completed retest replaces it.SKIPmeans the check has no completed outcome. - The overall result is
FAILwhile any failure remains,PARTIALwhen no failure remains but a scoped check is skipped, and otherwisePASS. - Any failure before the app is launched with log capture running stops later stages and reports an actionable setup blocker with its evidence.
Boundaries: this skill tests and reports. Diagnosis and any user-approved product fix belong to ce-debug, invoked with its authority narrowed so it returns here without committing, pushing, or opening a PR. Keep simulator interaction within the app and flows the user placed in scope.
Run
- Prepare and launch. Read
references/setup-and-build.md. It defines the XcodeBuildMCP availability check, project and scheme discovery, simulator choice, build, install, launch, and log-capture start. - Exercise and report. After launch, read
references/test-and-report.md. It defines per-screen evidence, human-only flows, the SwiftUI inline-link automation limitation, what to do when a check fails, cleanup, and the fixed summary fields.
Do not replace either required read with remembered tool names. XcodeBuildMCP adapters differ by host, while their observable success conditions do not.
