Then it opens the file on the\n**daemon**. A remote daemon shares no file system with the caller. So the command\nfails with `ENOENT`, on a path the caller can read.\n\nThe result: `replay` does not work against a remote daemon.\n\n## Why this matters\n\nWe drive a remote EAS Simulator session from a Linux GitHub Actions runner. Our\nflow files are in the repository, which the runner checks out. The daemon host has\nno copy of that repository.\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/callstack/agent-device/issues/1802) · 2026-08-18 · closed · external user · 0 comments\n\n### MCP channel ignores `~/.agent-device/config.json` defaults (`iosXctestrunFile`): omitting the param on any tool call triggers the built-in runner build — even while an external-xctestrun runner for the same session is alive\n\n## Environment\n\n- **agent-device version:** 0.19.3 (npm, latest at time of writing)\n- **Node:** v24.15.0\n- **macOS:** Darwin 25.4.0; **Xcode:** 26.6 (no Apple ID signed in — external xctestrun per #806, built manually with `CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual`)\n- **MCP client:** Claude Code, server registered as `agent-device mcp`\n- **Device:** physical iPhone 14\n- `~/.agent-device/config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"iosXctestrunFile\": \"/Users/<user>/.agent-device/apple-runner/external-manual/Build/Products/AgentDev\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/callstack/agent-device/issues/1341) · 2026-07-20 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### MCP: devices and apps return a top-level array as structuredContent, which spec-enforcing MCP clients (e.g. Claude Code) reject — the tools are unusable even though the daemon executes them successfully\n\n## Environment\n\n- **agent-device version:** 0.19.3 (npm, latest at time of writing)\n- **Node:** v24.15.0\n- **macOS:** Darwin 25.4.0\n- **MCP client:** Claude Code, server registered as `agent-device mcp` in `mcpServers`\n- **Device:** physical iPhone 14 (also reproduces with no device connected — `devices` fails the same way)\n\n## Description\n\nWhen agent-device is registered as an MCP server in Claude Code, calling the `devices` or `apps` tools always fails on the client side with a schema validat\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/callstack/agent-device/issues/1340) · 2026-07-20 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### AccessorySetupKit picker on physical iOS: system-modal snapshot detection is flaky, `alert` is capability-gated — querying `com.apple.AccessorySetupUI` directly works reliably\n\n## Summary\n\nOn a physical iPhone, the AccessorySetupKit (ASK) accessory picker — a system sheet hosted out-of-process by `/Applications/AccessorySetupUI.app` — is only intermittently visible to `snapshot` (and therefore to `wait`/selector resolution), and `alert` is refused outright by the CLI capability gate.
