We turned the Xcode simulator into a test generation machine Record your session. The test writes itself.

Join the waitlist here, will be onboarding people over the next few weeks!

light mode web, dark mode phone, the yin and yang of my life

Session recording for tests has been tried (Katalon, Squish, etc.) — the brittleness problem is real. Tests from exact UI interactions break on minor layout changes. How do you handle resilience?

need this asap

@CrossInCrypto Gotchu 🤝

This looks like black magic!

Haha I appreciate that! What makes this crazy is that this session wasn't even recorded on a local sim, but one running on our cloud that Claude Code was able to control thru a CLI... Xcode wasn't even running on my laptop

I've been playing around with the xcode cli tools and I have some scar tissue to know that this is HARD to get. As a dev, I'm just in awe! GG

🫶 would love to get you on the platform! And yea it’s insane how many prerequisite things we had to build to make this possible, super excited for everyone to get access to it!

super techy

This is wizardry

isnt this already a native xcuiautomation feature

Native XCUIAutomation requires an existing test target and only works if you're already running XCUITests in Xcode. Revyl records, annotates, and analyzes sessions for any app, no test code required. We decompile your actions into natural language, capture the intent, and turn it into a replayable test you can drop straight into your regression suite. Works for android as well

ah i see now, very cool! great use case then for people who might not want an entire massive Xcode install on their machine

Yep! The native XC ecosystem is notoriously clunky, slow, brittle, etc. as you probably know, so circumventing it is quite a time saver

beautiful

Nice. I've been wondering about ways to improve automation testing. Does this work with iOS apps built with Expo / React Native too?

Yep, in fact it works best with expo and RN! Tons of synergy, for example, you can hot reload projects on your local machine direct into the cloud. Check this out

Nice, thanks! I'll have to check this out for sure.

Okay. This one I need to use. Where is it? hahahah

Check out the CLI! You or your coding agents can start and interact with these sessions directly from your terminal:

Wow…

Nice! Does it handle in app purchases / StoreKit?

Record-to-test captures real journeys well. The harder step is generalising selectors and data so the output becomes resilient coverage rather than a brittle replay of one device state. Related QA view:
