limrun-ios-simulator

limrun-ios-simulator is a skill for Claude Code from sutchan/Agent-Skills-Hub. It costs 160 tokens per session (3,596 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for interacting with an app on a cloud-hosted iOS simulator. An iOS simulator is software that imitates an iPhone or iPad for development and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch apps, tap and type, inspect accessibility elements, take screenshots, record video, connect local services, and run timed action sequences.
Why use it?
It lets developers inspect and use an iOS app without a local Mac, physical device, or local simulator.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is lim ios camera play ./fixtures/qr-scan.mp4 # loops by default.

Good fit Use it to launch apps, tap and type, inspect accessibility elements, take screenshots, record video, connect local services, and run timed action sequences.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

limrun-ios-simulator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 355 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Limrun iOS Simulator

Interact with an app running on a Limrun cloud iOS simulator, from any environment (Linux, Windows, macOS, VM, container). This skill is build-agnostic: it assumes the app was already built and installed by a build skill (limrun-xcode-bazel for Bazel, limrun-xcode for xcodebuild). Keep build concerns in those skills; this one is about driving the running simulator.

Never use local Xcode, local simulators, or local macOS tools.

Auth and CLI

Install if needed: npm install --global lim. Auth is lim login or LIM_API_KEY (it may be set outside the project, so don't ask for it just because it's missing from .env or the shell). The CLI is the source of truth: the commands in this skill are verified, but if a flag errors or you need one not shown here, check lim ios <subcommand> --help instead of guessing.

Installing an app bundle

You can either use Limrun remote Bazel or Xcode services to build the app bundle and have it installed to the simulator automatically or you can sync a pre-built local .ipa file or .app folder to the simulator. The main requirement is that it must be built for simulator.

Build and install

A build skill usually attaches the simulator for you (lim xcode rbe --ios, or lim xcode build . then attach). Check what's already there:

lim xcode get      # is a simulator attached to the current build target?
lim ios list       # all running iOS instances

If none is attached, create one. It installs the last build immediately, so you don't need to rebuild:

lim ios create --attach

If the create (or lim xcode rbe --ios) output includes a signed stream URL, share it with the user as a Markdown link, like [Live simulator](<signed-stream-url>). If you have a browser the user can see, open the URL there and tell them. Otherwise pass --no-open to create: it skips opening the URL locally and still prints it for sharing.

lim xcode get prints a Limrun console URL instead. It opens the same live view but requires a console login, so prefer the signed stream URL for sharing. If the console URL is all you have, share it and mention it needs login.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
