+description: >-
+  Skill to run xcodebuild tests on iOS Simulator while recording a video walkthrough, dynamically selecting the
+  highest available OS and device. Most useful for running XCUITests.
+---
+
+# iOS Simulator Test Recording Skill
+
+This skill provides a generalized bash script to test run and record iOS Simulator workflows and UI tests. It handles
+everything natively through AWK TTY streams to ensure the camera triggers exactly when the app launches — eliminating
+the simulator's booting and install sequence.
+
+## The Script: `run_test_and_record.sh`
+
+The core logic of this skill resides in `./.agents/skills/ios-simulator-test-recording/scripts/run_test_and_record.sh`.
+You can call this script whenever you need to execute a test block accompanied by screen recording.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+./.agents/skills/ios-simulator-test-recording/scripts/run_test_and_record.sh [OPTIONS] -- COMMAND
+```
+
+#### Options
+
+- `--video PATH` : Change the video output file. Default: `simulator_test_walkthrough.mp4`
+- `--show-ui` : Explicitly brings the Simulator.app window to the foreground so the user sees the execution happening.
+  By default, it runs the simulator headless or in the background.
+- `--udid UDID` : Specifies the ID of the simulator to attach to. If left omitted, it queries
+  `xcrun simctl list devices available -j` and auto-bootstraps the highest tier iPhone class.
+
+#### Substituting the Device ID
+
+If your test script requires injecting the target UDID dynamically, you can use the `{UDID}` placeholder inside your
+command execution block. The script will intercept and substitute it before launching.
+
+### Example Implementations
+
+**1. Basic Automated Fallback (Latest Simulator + Default Video)**
+```bash
+  ./.agents/skills/ios-simulator-test-recording/scripts/run_test_and_record.sh \
+  -- xcodebuild test -project SampleApp.xcodeproj -scheme SampleApp \
+  -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,id={UDID}" -quiet
+```
+*Note the usage of `{UDID}` to let the script automatically populate the chosen device ID.*
+
+**2. Custom Video Path & Show UI**
+```bash
+  ./.agents/skills/ios-simulator-test-recording/scripts/run_test_and_record.sh \
+  --show-ui \
+  --video "~/Code/firebase-ios-sdk/auth_test.mp4" \
+  -- xcodebuild test -workspace App.xcworkspace -scheme AppUITests \
+  -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,id={UDID}" -only-testing:AppUITests/testLogin -quiet
+```
+
+**3. With a specific Custom UDID provided**
+```bash
+  ./.agents/skills/ios-simulator-test-recording/scripts/run_test_and_record.sh \
+  --udid "62425200-F824-4E55-ACB4-08D031165A82" \
+  --video ./fast_test.mp4 \
+  -- xcodebuild test -project Proj.xcodeproj ... -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,id={UDID}"
+```
+
+### Important Maintenance Notes
+If future framework changes cause the script to fail, take these notes into consideration:
+- **Avoid** using `tail -F` on XCTest logs inside CI arrays (it natively locks trailing descriptors indefinitely).
+- **Avoid** using "magic numbers" and `sleep` commands to time the simulator launch. The script uses a robust
+  TTY-based stream hook that triggers exactly when the test runner starts, ensuring perfect synchronization without
+  timing dependencies.
+- **Avoid** pipe `xcodebuild` into `tee` logs natively; block buffering will cache the entire script payload until
+  test execution completion, causing the hook to deploy at the literal end of the tape, wiping your data. Always use
+  the internal TTY `script` wrapper!
