1Password for iOS Simulator

I know that only very few users would actually need this feature, but it would probably be a killer feature for these few: I would like to be able to login into 1Password in the iOS Simulator.

    Hi @343max,

    I could be quite wrong but wouldn't that require the source code? I can create a request but I would need to better understand how the binary downloaded from Apple's servers doesn't work. Even just a few details to help guide my own research would be great :smile: If there is something we can adjust I will certain ask on your behalf.

    I see two possible solutions for this problem:

    • Use UI Automation for the Simulator. It's possible to remote-control 1Password, so it should be possible to type usernames & passwords into the simulator from a Mac App
    • have a minimal 1Password-bridge that is able to communicate to the native process on the Mac.

    We do have an open request for a Mac equivalent to Windows Auto-type. At the moment we only have the extension which 'injects' web form details into a web page. It's a nice, clean way of interacting with a web page in a compliant way. In Windows there is a way to inject keyboard events or at least that's my understanding. It allows 1Password for Windows to interact with any application regardless of whether it supports copy and paste. We are considering what options we have along these lines on the Mac. So instead of a bridge specific to the iOS simulator it would hopefully be a way of interacting in some small fashion with applications in general.

    Would that relate at all to your proposed second solution?
