argent-simulator-setup
1. Setup Steps
If you delegate simulator tasks to sub-agents, make sure they have MCP permissions.
-
Find a booted simulator Use
list-simulators. Pick the first result — booted iPhones are listed first. If none are booted, useboot-simulatorwith the desired UDID. -
Verify connection All interaction tools (
gesture-tap,gesture-swipe,gesture-custom, etc.) auto-start the server if not already running.
2. Notes
- UDIDs look like:
A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890
More from software-mansion/argent
argent-test-ui-flow
Autonomously test an app UI (iOS or Android) by running interact-screenshot-verify loops using argent MCP tools. Use when testing a UI flow, verifying login works, testing navigation, or running an end-to-end UI test scenario.
6argent-create-flow
Record a reusable flow (scripted sequence of MCP tool calls) that can be replayed later with a single command. Use when the user asks to create, record, or build a flow, or to script a sequence of simulator actions.
6argent-metro-debugger
Debug a React Native app via Metro CDP using argent debugger tools. Use when connecting to Metro, inspecting React components, reading console logs, or evaluating JavaScript in the app runtime.
6argent-react-native-app-workflow
Step-by-step workflows for developing or debugging React Native apps on iOS simulator or Android emulator. Use when starting the app, debugging Metro, fixing builds, diagnosing runtime errors, or running tests.
6argent-react-native-profiler
Profile a React Native Hermes app to measure re-render and CPU performance using argent profiler tools. Use when optimizing for performance, measuring before/after a fix, spotting slow components, diagnosing re-renders, checking CPU hotspots, or producing a ranked issue report.
6argent-react-native-optimization
Optimizes a React Native app by profiling first to find real bottlenecks, then sweeping for mechanical issues. Entry-point for all performance work. Use when the app feels slow, user asks to optimize, fix re-renders, reduce jank, or improve startup. Delegates to argent-react-native-profiler for measurement.
