/iblai-screenshot
Capture screenshots of your ibl.ai app for app store listings, documentation,
and marketing. Covers pure web, iOS (App Store), and Android (Google Play).
All screenshots require logging in first so you capture the actual app, not
the login screen. See the Authentication section for each platform.
Web Screenshots (Playwright)
Use Playwright to capture screenshots at multiple viewport sizes from the
running dev server.
Prerequisites
Set credentials in
so the screenshot script can log in:
bash
PLAYWRIGHT_USERNAME=your-test-user@example.com
PLAYWRIGHT_PASSWORD=your-password
Generate the Screenshot Script
This creates
with viewport presets for iPhone,
iPad, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Apple Watch, and Desktop.
Authentication
The generated screenshot spec must authenticate before capturing. The
project's
handles login automatically -- it navigates
to the app, follows the SSO redirect, fills in username/password credentials,
and saves the authenticated browser state to
.
Update
to use the saved auth state so every
screenshot is taken as a logged-in user:
typescript
import { test } from "@playwright/test";
// Use the pre-authenticated storage state from auth.setup.ts
test.use({
storageState: "playwright/.auth/user-setup-chromium.json",
});
// ... viewport and screenshot definitions
Then run auth setup before the screenshots:
bash
pnpm exec playwright test e2e/auth.setup.ts --project=setup-chromium
pnpm exec playwright test e2e/screenshots.spec.ts
Or configure the screenshot spec as a Playwright project that depends on
the setup project in
:
typescript
{
name: 'screenshots',
use: {
storageState: 'playwright/.auth/user-setup-chromium.json',
},
dependencies: ['setup-chromium'],
testMatch: ['screenshots.spec.ts'],
},
Customize Pages
bash
iblai builds screenshot --pages / /profile /notifications /analytics
Run the Capture
-
Start the dev server:
-
Run the screenshot spec:
bash
pnpm exec playwright test e2e/screenshots.spec.ts
-
Screenshots are saved to
screenshots/<device-slug>/<page-name>.png
.
Custom Base URL
Capture from a staging or production deployment:
bash
SCREENSHOT_BASE_URL=https://staging.myapp.com pnpm exec playwright test e2e/screenshots.spec.ts
Viewport Presets
| Device | Width | Height |
|---|
| iPhone 6.7" | 430 | 932 |
| iPhone 6.1" | 390 | 844 |
| iPad 12.9" | 1024 | 1366 |
| Android Phone | 412 | 915 |
| Android Tablet | 800 | 1280 |
| Apple Watch 49mm | 205 | 251 |
| Apple Watch 45mm | 198 | 242 |
| Desktop | 1440 | 900 |
iOS Screenshots (Xcode Simulator)
Capture screenshots directly from the iOS Simulator for App Store Connect.
Prerequisites
- Tauri iOS project initialized ()
- Xcode with simulators installed
Authentication
The app uses SSO login via iblai.app. When the Simulator launches, the
WebView redirects to the login page. Log in with your username and password
(click "Continue with Password" if needed), then the app redirects back
to the authenticated home page. The session persists in the Simulator's
WebView storage -- you only need to log in once per simulator device.
Take a Screenshot
-
Start the iOS dev build:
-
Log in when the auth page appears (first run only).
-
Navigate to the page you want to capture in the Simulator.
-
Capture the full Simulator window including the title bar:
bash
screencapture -l $(osascript -e 'tell app "Simulator" to id of window 1') ~/Desktop/ios-screenshot.png
This captures the Simulator window with its title bar showing the device
name and iOS version (e.g. "iPhone 16 Pro Max - iOS 18.0").
Capture All Required Sizes
App Store Connect requires screenshots for specific device sizes. Use
these simulators:
| Display Size | Simulator Device | Resolution |
|---|
| 6.9" | iPhone 16 Pro Max | 1320 x 2868 |
| 6.3" | iPhone 16 Pro | 1206 x 2622 |
| 6.7" | iPhone 15 Plus | 1290 x 2796 |
| 6.5" | iPhone 15 Pro Max | 1290 x 2796 |
| 5.5" | iPhone 8 Plus | 1242 x 2208 |
| 12.9" iPad | iPad Pro 12.9" (6th gen) | 2048 x 2732 |
| 11" iPad | iPad Pro 11" (4th gen) | 1668 x 2388 |
Batch Capture Script
Capture the same page across all required simulators:
bash
DEVICES=(
"iPhone 16 Pro Max"
"iPhone 16 Pro"
"iPhone 15 Plus"
"iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation)"
"iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation)"
)
for device in "${DEVICES[@]}"; do
slug=$(echo "$device" | tr ' ' '-' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
xcrun simctl boot "$device" 2>/dev/null
sleep 5
# Capture the Simulator window with its title bar
screencapture -l $(osascript -e 'tell app "Simulator" to id of window 1') "screenshots/ios-${slug}.png"
xcrun simctl shutdown "$device"
done
Boot the app in the simulator first with
so
each simulator has the app installed.
Android Screenshots (Emulator)
Capture screenshots from the Android emulator for Google Play Console.
Prerequisites
- Tauri Android project initialized (
iblai builds android init
)
- Android Studio with emulators configured
Authentication
Same SSO flow as iOS -- the WebView redirects to the login page on first
launch. Log in with your username and password, and the session persists
in the emulator's WebView storage for subsequent runs.
Take a Screenshot
-
Start the Android dev build:
-
Log in when the auth page appears (first run only).
-
Navigate to the page you want to capture in the emulator.
-
Capture the full emulator window including the title bar:
bash
# macOS — capture the emulator window with its title bar (shows device name)
screencapture -l $(osascript -e 'tell app "qemu-system-aarch64" to id of window 1') ~/Desktop/android-screenshot.png
Or on Linux, use
to capture the emulator window:
bash
import -window "$(xdotool search --name 'Android Emulator')" ~/Desktop/android-screenshot.png
Required Sizes for Google Play
Google Play requires screenshots for phones and tablets:
| Type | Resolution | Emulator Device |
|---|
| Phone | 1080 x 2400 | Pixel 8 |
| Phone (larger) | 1440 x 3120 | Pixel 8 Pro |
| 7" Tablet | 1200 x 1920 | Nexus 7 |
| 10" Tablet | 1600 x 2560 | Pixel Tablet |
Batch Capture Script
bash
EMULATORS=(
"Pixel_8"
"Pixel_8_Pro"
"Pixel_Tablet"
)
for avd in "${EMULATORS[@]}"; do
emulator -avd "$avd" -no-audio -no-boot-anim &
adb wait-for-device
sleep 10
# Capture emulator window with title bar
screencapture -l $(osascript -e 'tell app "qemu-system-aarch64" to id of window 1') "screenshots/android-${avd}.png"
adb emu kill
done
The app must be installed on each emulator first. Run
once per emulator to install it.
