NPM version Downloads

Appium API for dealing with iOS simulators. The API enables you to use the following features:

  • query locations of Simulator-specific directories and applications
  • read/write access to Simulator settings
  • full control over starting and stopping simulators
  • deal with biometric auth, geolocation settings, application permissions, and others

Usage

async getSimulator(udid)

This is the main entry of this module. This function returns a simulator object (see below) associated with the udid passed in. If an iOS simulator with the given udid does not exist already on this machine, it will throw an error.

If you want to create a new simulator, you can use the createDevice() method of node-simctl.

import { getSimulator } from 'appium-ios-simulator';
import assert from 'node:assert/strict';

const sim = await getSimulator('DAE95172-0788-4A85-8D0D-5C85509109E1');
await sim.run();
assert.equal('Booted', (await sim.stat()).state);
await sim.shutdown();
assert.equal('Shutdown', (await sim.stat()).state);
