Figured out how to run tests for iOS:
```
xcrun simctl spawn '&lt;sim name like iPad Air 2&gt;' &lt;path to test.kexe&gt;
```

Filed an issue here: <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/2578>

<https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-mpp-example/blob/master/greeting/build.gradle#L80>

agree this should just be handled automatically

i imagine they havent because part of that task references a target you define

Isn’t it already exists? <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-mpp-example/blob/master/greeting/build.gradle>

Examples exist but it isn't provided by default (either in the plugin or in the new project templates)

<@U0JLS5Q4W> that build.gradle shows them creating a custom task to do it

&gt; i imagine they havent because part of that task references a target you define
<@U0H8MJ868> i'm referencing a task generated from the kotlin-multiplatform plugin. Seems like `fromPreset` (or `targetFromPreset` in 1.3.20) could just generate this task too

yup they could at the very least create a test task for each target `iosDeviceTest`

i could add it to our cocoapods plugin :wink:

But something still needs to tell it which simulator to use. Just having a target defined doesn't specify that

i still need to figure out the best way how to get these tests to run as part of a CI build w/ cocoapods

yea the task in their example defaults to an iPhone 8 simulator

<@U2VU05RC4> agree, but it could specify a default and then allow it to be altered as a variable in the `fromPreset` block

If it wanted to be extra fancy (and verbose), it could run `xcrun simctl list` and output one task per sim. It'll generate a lot of tasks, but the could be configurable as well?

yeah I agree. I just mention it to highlight that there are some API decisions to make before integrating it into the plugin, which maybe is why they haven't yet

<@U0H8MJ868> the more I think about it, it prob makes sense to have a generic iOS plugin

The maintenance burden of this feels beyond the scope of K/N
