# agent-device iOS Runner
This folder is reserved for the lightweight XCUITest runner used to provide element-level automation on iOS.
This folder contains the lightweight XCUITest runner used to provide element-level automation for Apple-family targets.
## Intent
- Provide a minimal XCTest target that exposes UI automation over a small HTTP server.
- Allow local builds via `xcodebuild` and caching for faster subsequent runs.
- Support simulator prebuilds where compatible.
## Status
Planned for the automation layer. See `docs/ios-automation.md` and `docs/ios-runner-protocol.md`.
Current internal runner for iOS, tvOS, and macOS desktop automation.
Protocol and maintenance references:
- Protocol overview: [`RUNNER_PROTOCOL.md`](RUNNER_PROTOCOL.md)
- TypeScript client: [`../src/platforms/ios/runner-client.ts`](../src/platforms/ios/runner-client.ts)
- Swift wire models: [`AgentDeviceRunner/AgentDeviceRunnerUITests/RunnerTests+Models.swift`](AgentDeviceRunner/AgentDeviceRunnerUITests/RunnerTests+Models.swift)
## UITest Runner File Map
`AgentDeviceRunnerUITests/RunnerTests` is split into focused files to reduce context size for contributors and LLM agents.
- `RunnerTests.swift`: shared state/constants, `setUp()`, and `testCommand()` entry flow.

- `RunnerTests+SystemModal.swift`: SpringBoard/system modal detection and modal snapshot shaping.
- `RunnerTests+ScreenRecorder.swift`: nested `ScreenRecorder` implementation.
## Protocol Notes
- The daemon posts JSON commands to `POST /command` on the runner's local HTTP listener.
- The runner responds with a JSON envelope shaped as `{ ok, data?, error? }`.
- The protocol is internal to `agent-device`; when adding or renaming commands, update both wire models and the protocol tests/docs in the same change.
