agor v0.0.2

agor - (/ˈaɡɔr/)

pronounced ah-gore - named after the Welsh for to open

A Node CLI utility to launch an iOS simulator and navigate Safari to a specified page. Useful for running manual progressive web app checks on iOS.

Install

Install globally (recommended)

yarn global add agor

npm i -g agor

Usage

agor -a https://google.com -d "iPhone 7"

If you want to run this alongside a start script for an application (i.e. Create React App), you'll need to run scripts in parallel. It's recommended you use concurrently and add a separate script to your package.json:

{
    "scripts":{
        "start":"react-scripts start",
        "start:ios": "concurrently \"yarn start\" \"agor -a http://localhost:3000\""
    }
}

API

The command supports the -a flag (address) and the -d flag (device). If no -d arg is provided, the default device will be an iPhone 12

The exact syntax of supported devices can be found by running xcrun simctl list in the terminal and copying the device name only (excluding UUID etc.)

Prerequisites

• Latest XCode installed.
• Install the XCode CLTs - xcode-select --install

Notes

By default the simulator will not run devices older than an iPhone 6S (< iOS 13).
