Could you build this?

Partial The MCP wrapper and agent loop are easy to build, but driving an iOS app reliably needs deep knowledge of simulator tooling, accessibility trees, and XCUITest internals that vibe coding won't supply on its own.

What it would actually take: Build an MCP server in Swift or Node that wraps simctl, idb or XCUITest/accessibility APIs to read the view hierarchy, inject taps and gestures, and capture screenshots and logs. The hard part is making the agent's exploration reliable across arbitrary apps, which requires iOS platform expertise to handle element identification, timing, and crash detection.
