Skill instructions
iOS Simulator Browser Browser Workflow 1. Obtain an explicit Simulator UDID from the existing iOS build/run workflow or from xcrun simctl list devices available. 2. Start serve-sim in a long-running terminal pinned to that simulator. Clean up any tracked stale helper for this simulator before starting, and install a trap so the helper is cleaned up when this terminal exits: bash SIM="<simulator-udid" cleanupservesim() { npx --yes serve-sim@latest --kill "$SIM" /dev/null 2&1 || true } trap cleanupservesim EXIT INT TERM HUP cleanupservesim npx --yes serve-sim@latest "$SIM" 3. Open the exact local preview URL printed by serve-sim in the Codex in-app browser. 4. Verify that a real frame is rendering before reporting success. A loaded page alone is not proof that the simulator stream is healthy. - Keep the terminal alive while the browser mirror is in use. When finished, stop the terminal and wait for it to exit so the trap runs. - If the terminal disappeared or did not exit cleanly, run np
