Overview
Argent is a tool set installed with `npx @swmansion/argent@latest init` that lets an AI assistant control iOS simulators, Android emulators and devices, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, and Electron/Chromium apps. It covers taps, swipes and typing, e2e recording and replay, visual regression diffs, profiling (Hermes, React DevTools, Xcode Instruments, Perfetto), and log and network inspection. It is aimed at React Native workflows.
Who it is for: Mobile and React Native developers using AI coding assistants
Strengths
- Covers iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV and Electron/Chromium targets
- Records a path once as an e2e test and replays it deterministically
- Profiling via Hermes, React DevTools, Xcode Instruments and Perfetto
- Inspects logs, XHR/fetch/native network traffic and native and React trees
Weaknesses
- Ships proprietary binaries (simulator-server, ax-service, .dylib files) under restricted terms
- Telemetry is opt-out rather than opt-in
- Protocol and supported editors are not described in the README itself
- Strongest fit is React Native; other stacks get less documented support
What it needs
- Needs Node.js (npx), iOS simulator / Android emulator or device
Quick answers
Is argent open source?
