-On CI, the debug app is pre-installed on the simulator. For most changes you just need:

 ```bash
-yarn build   # compile TS to dist/
+xcrun simctl get_app_container booted org.reactjs.native.example.FlatListPro 2>/dev/null
 ```
 
-Then relaunch the app so Metro serves the new JS bundle.

-**Only rebuild native if you changed native files** (`ios/`, `Podfile`, `android/`, `build.gradle`):
+- If it **succeeds**: app is installed. Just `yarn build` (TS) and relaunch.
+- If it **fails**: app is not installed. Build and install:
 
 ```bash
 cd fixture/react-native && yarn react-native run-ios

 ## E2E Tests
 
 **Run E2E tests before raising a PR if any of these changed:**
 - E2E test files (`*.e2e.*`)
 - Example/sample screens in `fixture/react-native/src/`
 - New example screens added
 
-On CI, use these scripts directly:
-
 ```bash
-cd fixture/react-native
-yarn e2e:build:ios   # builds release .app (only if needed)
-yarn e2e:test:ios    # runs Detox tests
+yarn e2e:ios
 ```
 
-E2E test files live in `fixture/react-native/e2e/tests/`.
+This runs `detox build -c ios.sim.release` followed by `detox test -c ios.sim.release`. E2E test files live in `fixture/react-native/e2e/tests/`.
