Tapp for VS Code

Give Copilot agent mode the Tapp Agent Skill for testing real iOS, Android, and web applications. The extension also contributes focused iOS simulator tools and a live simulator panel beside the editor.

Exploration is an observation, not permission to ship. It reports what Tapp found, what it covered, and what it did not check. A deterministic pass | fail | inconclusive merge decision comes only from the Tapp CI gate with reviewed policy and tests.

Use it

Open an application repository in VS Code and ask Copilot in agent mode:

Use Tapp to test this app.

For a focused task, say what you need:

Use Tapp to open the iOS app, navigate to Settings, and show me a screenshot.

Use Tapp to explore this web app and report evidence-backed findings. Let me watch the browser.

The skill chooses the smallest operation, asks you to select when a repository contains multiple application targets, and keeps exploration findings separate from release judgment.

Requirements

• Node 18 or newer.
• iOS: macOS, Xcode, and an installed simulator runtime.
• Android: adb and a connected emulator/device.
• Web: Playwright and Chromium.

The engine is fetched locally from @aarwitz/tapp. The first iOS use builds a cached test harness under ~/.tapp. No Tapp account or API key is required for core testing, and the app under test does not link a Tapp SDK.
