ios-simulator Guide
Manages iOS Simulator devices and tests app behavior using xcrun simctl. Covers device lifecycle (create, boot, shutdown, erase, delete), app install and launch, push notification simulation, location simulation, permission grants via privacy subcommand, deep link testing via openurl, status bar overrides, screenshot and video recording, log streaming with os_log filtering, get_app_container paths, and #if targetEnvironment(simulator) compile-time checks. Use when creating or managing simulator devices, testing push notifications without APNs, simulating GPS locations, granting or resetting privacy permissions, capturing screenshots or screen recordings from the command line, streaming device logs, debugging simulator boot failures, troubleshooting CoreSimulator issues, or checking simulator hardware limitations.
