See how to installReview the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Find a booted simulator or boot one. Returns the UDID for use in subsequent commands. Defaults to iPhone; pass ipad to use an iPad instead.
Never hardcode a simulator name (e.g., iPhone 16). Available simulators change across Xcode versions — always discover dynamically.
Run the script:
# iPhone (default):
UDID=$(Scripts/find-simulator.sh iphone)
# iPad:
UDID=$(Scripts/find-simulator.sh ipad)
The script prints the UDID to stdout and status messages to stderr. It will boot a simulator if none is already running.
Report the simulator name and UDID so the caller can use it:
Simulator ready: iPhone 17 (93E9F784-2B91-4D83-BFA5-F1682C28180B)
Watch app verification is not supported — the Watch app runs on a separate watchOS simulator with a different build destination (watchOS Simulator). It cannot be tested via the iPhone/iPad iOS simulator used for app verification.
