About
iOS Simulator Triage (living failure catalog)
Classify first (which layer failed), then recover. Most fixes live in the sibling skills; this skill routes you to them and supplies the logging tools that turn a symptom into a cause.
Route by symptom
- It never installs or launches (xcodebuild, CocoaPods, or prebuild failed): a **build
failure** -> references/build-failures.md.
- It launches, then crashes or misbehaves: a runtime failure ->
references/runtime-failures.md, split into app-native and Expo / React-Native because the logs and the fixes differ.
- It runs, but AXe cannot find or tap the element: an automation failure ->
references/automation-failures.md.
Read the logs first
Every layer has a log that names the cause; guessing without it wastes a cycle. references/logging.md is the cross-cutting tool, indexed by layer: the unified log (simctl spawn booted log stream), the app's stdout and stderr (simctl launch --console), crash reports, the diagnostic bundle (simctl diagnose), and the Metro terminal for the JS layer.
Rules
- Identify the layer before changing anything; a build fix will not cure a runtime crash.
- Pull the log before forming a hypothesis; the unified log or the crash report usually names
the cause outright.
- Every factual claim here and in the references cites a primary source (the tools' own help,
Apple); a prior-art skill is never a source.
Out of scope
Happy-path driving -> ios-simulator and expo-ios-simulator. What makes an app addressable -> mobile-accessibility.
Where to go
references/build-failures.md: code signing, CocoaPods, prebuild, and architecture.references/runtime-failures.md: native crashes and the Expo / RN failure modes.references/automation-failures.md: emptydescribe-ui, missed taps, and blocking overlays.references/logging.md: the unified log, console output, crash reports, and diagnose.
