What is FBSimulatorControl?
idb is a command-line interface for automating iOS simulators and devices, enabling remote control and advanced testing scenarios. It provides granular primitives for interacting with iOS environments, exposing functionality typically limited to Xcode's GUI. The tool solves the problem of scaling iOS automation across distributed device labs and complex testing workflows.
