Remote
An Xcode plugin and Swift package that lets you control an iPhone from your Mac for recording and replaying touch macros during development.
What is Remote?
Remote is an Xcode plugin and Swift package that allows iOS developers to control an iPhone from their Mac during development. It enables recording and replaying touch interactions as macros, performing snapshot-based end-to-end testing, and capturing screen output as videos. The tool solves the problem of constantly picking up physical devices for testing by providing a remote control interface within Xcode.
iOS developers working in Xcode who need to test applications on physical iPhones without constant device handling. It's particularly useful for developers creating automated UI tests or requiring reproducible touch sequences.
Developers choose Remote because it integrates directly with Xcode, eliminates physical device handling during testing, and provides macro recording with snapshot validation for reliable end-to-end testing. Unlike simulators, it works with actual devices while offering automation capabilities typically requiring additional testing frameworks.
