eas-simulator
An agent skill by expo, from expo/skills.
Run and control a user's app on a remote iOS/Android simulator hosted on EAS cloud. Always read before executing any `eas simulator:*` commands — it has the current syntax for this experimental API. Use whenever the user needs a simulator they can't run locally — 'run my app on a cloud simulator', 'use eas simulator to run/install/screenshot my app', 'I'm on Linux/Cursor and need an iOS device', 'no sim on this box / headless CI', 'let an agent click through my app and screenshot it', 'test my dev build on a remote sim with live reload', 'stream a sim's screen to my browser' — even when they don't say 'EAS Simulator' or 'cloud'. On a host WITHOUT a local simulator (Linux, CI, cloud sandbox) it's the default — just use it; on macOS, do NOT auto-trigger for a plain 'run on the simulator' — use it only for a cloud/remote/shareable sim, an iOS version they lack, or an agent-driven session. NOT for local sims (expo run:ios, Xcode, Android Studio), EAS Build/Update, web preview, or physical devices.
