AXe iOS Simulator Automation
AXe is a single-binary CLI for iOS Simulator automation via Apple's Accessibility APIs and HID.
Installation
brew install cameroncooke/axe/axe
Quick Start
# Get simulator UDID
axe list-simulators
UDID="<simulator-udid>"
# Basic interactions
axe tap -x 100 -y 200 --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Safari" --udid $UDID
axe type 'Hello World!' --udid $UDID
axe gesture scroll-down --udid $UDID
axe button home --udid $UDID
axe screenshot --udid $UDID
Touch & Gestures
# Tap at coordinates
axe tap -x 100 -y 200 --udid $UDID
# Tap by accessibility identifier or label
axe tap --id "myButton" --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Submit" --udid $UDID
# With timing controls
axe tap -x 100 -y 200 --pre-delay 1.0 --post-delay 0.5 --udid $UDID
# Swipe
axe swipe --start-x 100 --start-y 300 --end-x 300 --end-y 100 --udid $UDID
axe swipe --start-x 50 --start-y 500 --end-x 350 --end-y 500 --duration 2.0 --delta 25 --udid $UDID
# Low-level touch control
axe touch -x 150 -y 250 --down --udid $UDID
axe touch -x 150 -y 250 --up --udid $UDID
axe touch -x 150 -y 250 --down --up --delay 1.0 --udid $UDID
Gesture Presets
| Preset | Use Case |
|--------|----------|
| scroll-up | Content navigation |
| scroll-down | Content navigation |
| scroll-left | Horizontal scrolling |
| scroll-right | Horizontal scrolling |
| swipe-from-left-edge | Back navigation |
| swipe-from-right-edge | Forward navigation |
| swipe-from-top-edge | Dismiss/close |
| swipe-from-bottom-edge | Open/reveal |
axe gesture scroll-down --udid $UDID
axe gesture swipe-from-left-edge --udid $UDID
axe gesture scroll-up --screen-width 430 --screen-height 932 --udid $UDID
axe gesture scroll-down --pre-delay 1.0 --post-delay 0.5 --udid $UDID
Text Input
# Direct text (use single quotes for special characters)
axe type 'Hello World!' --udid $UDID
# From stdin (best for automation)
echo "Complex text" | axe type --stdin --udid $UDID
# From file
axe type --file input.txt --udid $UDID
# Individual key press by HID keycode
axe key 40 --udid $UDID # Enter key
axe key 42 --duration 1.0 --udid $UDID # Hold Backspace
# Key sequence
axe key-sequence --keycodes 11,8,15,15,18 --udid $UDID # "hello"
Hardware Buttons
axe button home --udid $UDID
axe button lock --duration 2.0 --udid $UDID
axe button side-button --udid $UDID
axe button siri --udid $UDID
axe button apple-pay --udid $UDID
Screenshot & Video
# Screenshot (auto-generates filename)
axe screenshot --udid $UDID
# Screenshot to specific path
axe screenshot --output ~/Desktop/screenshot.png --udid $UDID
# Video recording to MP4
axe record-video --udid $UDID --fps 15 --output recording.mp4
axe record-video --udid $UDID --fps 10 --quality 60 --scale 0.5 --output low-bandwidth.mp4
# Stream MJPEG
axe stream-video --udid $UDID --fps 10 --format mjpeg > stream.mjpeg
# Pipe to ffmpeg
axe stream-video --udid $UDID --fps 30 --format ffmpeg | \
ffmpeg -f image2pipe -framerate 30 -i - -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast output.mp4
Press Ctrl+C to stop recording. AXe finalizes MP4 and prints path to stdout.
Accessibility Inspection
# Full screen accessibility tree
axe describe-ui --udid $UDID
# Accessibility info at specific point
axe describe-ui --point 100,200 --udid $UDID
Automation Patterns
Wait-then-tap pattern
axe tap --label "Continue" --pre-delay 2.0 --udid $UDID
Scroll to find element
for i in {1..5}; do
axe describe-ui --udid $UDID | grep -q "targetElement" && break
axe gesture scroll-down --udid $UDID
done
axe tap --label "targetElement" --udid $UDID
Form filling
axe tap --label "Email" --udid $UDID
axe type '[email protected]' --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Password" --udid $UDID
axe type 'secret123' --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Sign In" --udid $UDID
Screenshot after action
axe tap --label "Submit" --post-delay 1.0 --udid $UDID
axe screenshot --output result.png --udid $UDID

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
