platform / ios-testing

Reliable iOS testing in two minutes.

Write end-to-end tests for iOS applications in plain English. Momentic turns each user flow into a readable test, runs it on fresh local or hosted simulators, and keeps it reliable as the application changes. Momentic supports native Swift and cross-platform iOS builds, natural-language mobile tests, and local or hosted simulators.

How iOS test automation works.

From installation to your first passing iOS test in two minutes.

01

Install

Run the onboarding wizard to sign in, install the mobile CLI, initialize the project, execute a sample test, and connect the local MCP server.

02

Author

Describe the iOS user flow and expected result in plain English. Momentic saves the test in the repository so it remains readable, reviewable, and version-controlled.

03

Run

Execute the same test on a hosted simulator, a local simulator managed through Xcode, or as part of a CI workflow.

iOS test automation features.

Everything you need for reliable iOS app test automation. Build, run, diagnose, and maintain iOS tests without owning a complex simulator infrastructure or a large framework-specific test suite.

Natural-language iOS test authoring

Describe taps, inputs, navigation, and expected outcomes in plain English. Momentic translates that intent into an executable iOS test your engineering team can understand.

Test the user journey, not the view implementation.

Local or hosted iOS simulators

Start quickly with Momentic-hosted simulators or use local simulators when you need direct access to Xcode and the surrounding development environment.

Fast hosted execution. Full local control.

Native and cross-platform iOS support

Test native Swift applications and iOS builds created from React Native, Expo, or Flutter projects through one consistent workflow.

Use the stack your mobile team already has.

Self-healing iOS test locators

Momentic re-resolves targets when the interface changes and stores successful targeting information for faster, more repeatable subsequent runs.

A UI refactor should not require a test rewrite.

CI-ready iOS app testing

Run iOS tests on commits, pull requests, release candidates, or scheduled regression suites through the Momentic mobile CLI.

Verify the release before it reaches the App Store.

MCP for coding agents

Give an MCP-compatible coding agent the tools to create, update, execute, and triage iOS tests from the development environment.

Let the agent build the test and verify the result.

How engineering teams ship faster with Momentic.

Teams use Momentic to increase coverage, shorten feedback cycles, and spend less time investigating unreliable tests.

iOS testing, answered.

What is iOS app test automation?

iOS app test automation executes user journeys and verifies outcomes inside an iOS application. It gives teams repeatable coverage for onboarding, authentication, navigation, purchases, permissions, and other release-critical behavior.

Do I need Xcode to get started?

Not when running on a Momentic-hosted simulator after a compatible .app build has been uploaded. Xcode and macOS are required when building the native test artifact or running local iOS simulators.

Which iOS versions does Momentic support?

Momentic's hosted simulator fleet currently supports iOS 26. Teams requiring another version should contact Momentic. See the documentation for the current list of supported simulators.

Which iOS application frameworks can I test?

Momentic supports native Swift applications and iOS simulator builds created using React Native, Expo, and Flutter.

What application format does Momentic require?

Hosted iOS testing requires an iOS Simulator .app bundle. Native projects can produce this through Xcode, while React Native, Expo, and Flutter projects follow their respective simulator-build workflows.

How does Momentic reduce flaky iOS tests?

Momentic combines natural-language targeting, locator re-resolution, cached successful interactions, stability checks, and failure recovery to reduce failures caused by timing issues and interface changes.

Can I run iOS tests in CI?

Yes. iOS tests can run through the Momentic mobile CLI as part of development and CI workflows. Hosted simulators allow the tests to run without relying on a persistent local simulator fleet.

Can a coding agent create iOS tests?

Yes. The Momentic mobile MCP server gives compatible coding agents tools to author, run, and triage mobile tests from the development environment.

Where are uploaded iOS builds managed?

Hosted builds are uploaded as versioned assets and organized using channels and tags. Local simulator runs can reference a local .app path instead.

How is iOS testing priced?

Momentic uses usage-based credits rather than per-seat pricing. The Free plan includes one concurrent mobile device, Pay-as-you-go includes one concurrent iOS device alongside Android capacity, and Enterprise concurrency is customized.
