iOS UI automation: tap, type, screenshot
FlowDeck's UI automation: accessibility tree as JSON, screenshots, and gestures from the CLI. iOS UI testing for AI agents.
iOS simulator management for AI agents
How iOS simulators outgrew simctl, and what FlowDeck does about it. Boot, install, screenshot, and automate the simulator from one CLI.
iOS log streaming: per-app and structured
Per-app log streaming for iOS simulators and devices. OSLog and print() output, no predicate language, formatted and live.
Two agents, same task, same standards
See how two coding agents handled the same iOS task under the same project standards, and what their build, test, and verification evidence revealed.
Why AI agents fail at iOS development
Why iOS coding agents fail: missing build, test, simulator, and log feedback. Learn the evidence loop that helps Claude Code and Codex verify changes reliably.
MCP vs CLI for AI-powered iOS development
Compare MCP and CLI for iOS agents: tool discovery, context, CI, structured output, and the build-test-simulator loop with current XcodeBuildMCP defaults.
A modern simctl alternative for iOS simulators
Replace xcrun simctl with a structured CLI. Boot, erase, install, launch, screenshot iOS simulators by name. No UDIDs. JSON output on every command.
How to run iOS tests from the terminal
Run iOS unit tests and UI tests from the terminal without memorizing xcodebuild flags. Discover tests, filter by target, and get structured CI output.
