agent-mobile – Mobile automation CLI for AI agents controlling iOS simulators

Summary: agent-mobile is a CLI tool that enables AI agents to control iOS simulators using stable references for UI elements. It integrates Appium to automate app interactions like opening, tapping, filling, swiping, and taking screenshots, facilitating AI-driven iOS workflows.

What it does

agent-mobile assigns stable refs (e.g., @e1, @e2) to UI elements, allowing AI coding assistants to reliably interact with iOS simulators. It bundles and auto-starts Appium, enabling commands such as and to automate app control.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers and AI tools that need a simple, predictable interface to automate and test iOS apps via simulators.

Why it matters

agent-mobile addresses the lack of lightweight, stable automation tools for AI agents to drive iOS simulators without complex, context-heavy protocols.
