DSH iOS Simulator

Overview

DSH iOS Simulator is a plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) that gives the agent a live iOS Simulator inside the conversation. It can also drive a real iPhone connected over USB. The agent can boot a device, build and run an Xcode project or Swift package, drive the UI by accessibility label or on-screen text, and read logs, while a live video of the device plays in a sidebar panel you can tap and drag on. It only works inside DSH, and the plugin is still a release candidate (0.1.0-rc.10).

Features

• 22 agent tools covering devices, boot and shutdown, screenshots, taps and typing, build and run, logs, processes, backtraces and leaks
• Live stream of the device in a sidebar panel, where you can tap, drag, rotate and press Home
• Taps elements by accessibility label or identifier, or finds and taps on-screen text with Vision OCR
• Row tools for list and feed apps that tap inside a row and check the result
• SwiftUI preview hot reload that swaps edits into the running simulator in about 2 to 5 seconds
• Real iPhone support over USB through WebDriverAgent, using the same panel and tools
• Streams and screenshots are only served over loopback through signed, expiring URLs

Requirements

• macOS with full Xcode (not just the Command Line Tools) and at least one iOS Simulator runtime
• DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.6 or later, with the web bundle for the live panel
• Optional: AXe for the accessibility-tree tools, and macOS Developer Mode for lldb backtraces
• For a real iPhone: a data USB cable, an unlocked phone with Developer Mode on, and a WebDriverAgent checkout

Install

1. Add the plugin to DSH, then start the web interface

   dsh plugin --profile web add @zseven-w/dsh-ios@latest
   dsh web

Example

In a DSH conversation, ask: "Boot the iPhone 17 Pro", then "Build and run /path/to/MyApp.xcodeproj", and watch the app launch in the live panel.
