What problem does it solve?

Provide a concise, repeatable way to configure iOS simulators for development and testing by using xcrun simctl to manage app permissions, UI appearance, simulated location, and status bar overrides so environments match test or screenshot requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Privacy & Permissions: Grant, revoke, or reset app permissions for a given bundle ID to reproduce privacy-related behaviors or onboarding flows.
• UI Appearance & Text Size: Toggle appearance between light and dark modes and adjust content size for accessibility testing and consistent screenshots.
• Location & Status Bar Simulation: Set fixed locations or run scenarios and override status bar values for deterministic screenshots and telemetry testing.
• Use Case: Prepare a simulator for a screenshot session by booting the device, setting dark mode, granting required permissions, fixing location, and overriding the status bar to a screenshot-ready state.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to configure the primary simulator to grant location permission to your app with its bundle ID and set appearance to dark mode with a screenshot-ready status bar override.
