Does this skill support physical Apple TV devices?

It focuses primarily on XCUITest in simulators, but the patterns provided are compatible with physical devices via standard Xcode testing workflows.

Can I use this for automated screenshots?

Yes, it provides extensions to capture screenshots of the full screen or specific elements during test execution, making it easier to document UI failures.

Is there CI/CD support included?

Yes, it includes a ready-to-use GitHub Actions template specifically configured for running tvOS tests on macOS-based runners.

How does it handle focus engine navigation?

The skill includes helper methods for XCUIRemote.shared to simulate directional presses and wait for the specific focus animations required by tvOS.

Does it help with App Store submissions?

It provides guidance and automation patterns for TestFlight distribution, including internal and external tester group management for Apple TV apps.
