devicedeck
Automate your iOS and Android app like a web app. DeviceDeck serves an iOS Simulator or Android
emulator as a web page, with the app's native UI mirrored as real DOM — so Playwright tests and AI
agents drive the native app by selector (getByRole, getByTestId).
npx devicedeck --app path/to/MyApp.app # the console at http://127.0.0.1:8787Or add it to your test project, so every machine and CI job runs the same version:
npm install --save-dev devicedeckWhy npm
DeviceDeck is one binary with two small sidecars, and also installs with a shell script. This
package exists because Playwright projects already live in npm: pinning DeviceDeck in
package.json needs no separate bootstrap step.
There is no postinstall script and nothing is downloaded when you install. The binaries for your Mac
arrive as an ordinary optional dependency that npm selects by os and cpu, so installs work
offline, behind a proxy, and in CI that blocks postinstall network access.
Platforms
The host runs on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) — it hosts the iOS Simulator. Tests, agents and browsers on any OS drive it over the network; installing this package on Linux is harmless, it just has nothing to run there.
