The skill

The limrun ios simulator skill drives an app on a Limrun cloud iOS simulator: tap, type, element tree, logs, screenshots, video, tunnels, proxy, camera and Face ID.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Each build gets a smoke test.

↻ Runs by itselfiOS build succeeds

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

iOS build succeeds. Runs in Claude Code routine or GitHub Actions.

  • ↻ iOS build succeeds
  • lim xcode build succeeded

02

It checks its work

element tree confirms flow. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓lim ios element-tree shows the expected screen after each tap
  • ✓launch-app reports no crash exit
  • ✓recording file exists for UI changes

03

It remembers

smoke test log. The next run reads it first: core flows to test and last instance ID.

loops/limrun-ios-smoke-test-loop/runs.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after the changed flow and one core-flow pass per build.

  1. 01

    Find the instance

    Run lim xcode get or lim ios list, or lim ios create --attach.

  2. 02

    Share the stream

    Give the signed stream URL as a link.

  3. 03

    Read the screen

    Run lim ios element-tree with --id before acting.

  4. 04

    Drive the change

    Tap by accessibility id, then label, then coordinates, and type into focused fields.

  5. 05

    Confirm each step

    Re-run element-tree after every interaction.

  6. 06

    Capture evidence

    Take screenshots for visuals and use lim ios record for motion.

  7. 07

    Clean up

    Run lim ios delete when the work is done.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Limrun iOS Simulator skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ You want to see or test a built app
  • ✓ You need screenshots or a demo video
  • ✓ The app must reach a local server

Skip it when

  • – You still need to build the app
  • – You test on a local simulator
