What Tablif read on simshot's site
simshot describes itself as: “simshot App Store screenshots from the iOS Simulator — no XCUITest”
- Stage: Live, no waitlist
- How it differs: “fastlane snapshot drives the UI through XCUITest , which means maintaining test targets, fighting flaky element queries, and dealing with runner crashes. simshot inverts the model: the app itself navigates to each scene (reading a documented launch-argument protocol), and simshot just drives simctl with a hard timeout on every step.”
