What

The DeviceKit XCUITest runner now builds for tvOS, so the automation stack can drive the tvOS Simulator over the same JSON-RPC interface used for iOS.

Changes

  • New devicekit-tvos scheme and tvOS target in the Xcode project, plus scripts/patch-tvos-runner.sh and Makefile targets that build and patch the tvOS runner.
  • A tvOS device.io.button handler that maps button names to XCUIRemote.Button presses (up, down, left, right, select, menu, home, playPause). tvOS navigates by focus, so there is no touch input.
  • The touch, keyboard, and orientation handlers stay iOS-only behind #if os(iOS) in the JSON-RPC dispatcher.
  • DeviceInfo reads the screen size from UIScreen.main.bounds on tvOS, since tvOS has no SpringBoard to query.
  • The remaining iOS-only handlers and helpers are guarded with #if os(iOS) so the shared sources compile for both platforms.
  • tvOS test runner app icon now matches the iOS one (new brandassets catalog + Runner.app patch for CFBundleIcons/CFBundleDisplayName).

Testing

Built the tvOS runner and ran it against a booted Apple TV 4K simulator, then drove a full profile create and delete flow in a tvOS app. Remote button presses, screenshots, and UI dumps all worked. Verified the Runner.app icon on-device via simulator install.

The DeviceKit XCUITest runner now builds for tvOS, so the automation
stack can drive the tvOS Simulator.

- Add a `devicekit-tvos` scheme and tvOS target to the Xcode project,
  plus a `scripts/patch-tvos-runner.sh` helper and Makefile targets that
  build and patch the tvOS runner.
- On tvOS, register a `device.io.button` handler that maps button names
  to `XCUIRemote.Button` presses (up, down, left, right, select, menu,
  home, playPause). tvOS navigates by focus, not touch.
- Keep the touch, keyboard, and orientation handlers iOS-only in the
  JSON-RPC dispatcher, behind `#if os(iOS)`.
- Read the screen size from `UIScreen.main.bounds` on tvOS, since there
  is no SpringBoard to query.
- Guard the remaining iOS-only handlers and helpers with `#if os(iOS)`
  so the shared sources still compile for both platforms.

Walkthrough

The change adds tvOS screen geometry handling and Siri Remote button input. It restricts iOS-only JSON-RPC and XCTest code to iOS builds. It updates handler registration for platform-specific compilation. It adds a tvOS Xcode scheme and Makefile targets to build, patch, sign, archive, install, and package simulator test artifacts.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to e0746

The current head cannot run the build/install workflow because the Makefile still contains unresolved conflict markers. The tvOS install target may also report success after failed build, patch, signing, or installation steps and may choose the wrong simulator runtime. Merge should be blocked until these issues are fixed.

🌐 Web query:

xcrun simctl list devices -j tvOS runtime key format CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS JSON

💡 Result:

The command xcrun simctl list devices -j outputs a JSON object where the primary key for grouping simulators is the runtime identifier (e.g., com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS-XX-X) [1][2]. When you run xcrun simctl list devices -j, the resulting JSON structure is organized as follows: 1. Root Object: Contains a key named devices [1][2]. 2. Devices Dictionary: The devices object contains keys representing each installed simulator runtime (such as com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS-18-2) [2][3]. 3. Simulator Array: Each runtime key maps to an array of objects, where each object represents an individual simulator device and includes fields such as name, udid, state, and isAvailable [2][4]. To parse the runtime key format—which follows the pattern com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.[Platform]-[Version]—you can programmatically split the string or use regex [2][5]. For example, extracting the platform and version from com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS-13-4 involves splitting by the dash character after the prefix [5]. Note that: - You can filter the JSON output efficiently using tools like jq to isolate specific platforms (e.g., jq '.devices | to_entries | map(select(.key | startswith("tvOS"))) | from_entries') [1]. - The isAvailable boolean field is critical for identifying whether a simulator is ready for use, as the list may include unavailable runtimes [2][4]. - In some scenarios, especially when multiple Xcode versions are involved, runtime identifiers might be duplicated or squashed in the JSON output, which can lead to unexpected behavior in automated scripts [6].

tvos-sim-install can select the wrong booted simulator. xcrun simctl list devices booted -j still returns booted devices across all runtimes, so first can resolve to an iOS simulator when one is booted too. Filter for tvOS runtimes before choosing the UDID.

Add a compiled brandassets catalog (imagestack/imagestacklayer) for the
tvOS UI test runner, wire up ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME and
CFBundleDisplayName on the devicekit-tvosUITests target, and extend
patch-tvos-runner.sh to copy the compiled Assets.car and set
CFBundleIcons/CFBundleDisplayName on the Runner.app so the tvOS test
runner now shows the same Device Kit icon as the iOS one.

149-161: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate failures from tvos-sim-install.

The recipe continues after failures because it uses semicolons without fail-fast handling. If xcodebuild, scripts/patch-tvos-runner.sh, codesign, or simctl install fails, the final echo can make make return success and report a completed installation. Reject an empty or null BOOTED value, enable fail-fast behavior, and preserve the xcodebuild | xcbeautify exit status.
