Quickly validate QR code scanning and barcode reading features
SimCam generates QR codes programmatically and injects them directly into the camera stream, allowing developers to test QR code scanning without manually holding devices up to screens

SimCam
Test camera features directly in the iOS simulator
Overview
What it is
SimCam lets you test camera features without a physical device - stream from your Mac's built-in or external camera, inject an image, or generate a QR code. Includes a CLI letting agents control the camera on iOS simulator.
Intent
I need it when
Test camera functionality in iOS apps without owning physical devices
SimCam streams your Mac's camera directly into the iOS Simulator, registering as a system-level virtual camera that apps see through standard AVFoundation APIs, eliminating the need for physical iOS devices during development and testing
Test image recognition and credit card scanning with consistent test data
SimCam lets you inject any image or video as a camera source, ensuring your app always sees exactly the same test data for reproducible testing of computer vision features
Automate camera testing in CI/CD pipelines and AI agent workflows
SimCam provides a CLI interface that allows agents and scripts to switch camera sources, generate QR codes, and check diagnostics programmatically, enabling fully automated camera feature testing
Drop
Not a fit when
- User develops exclusively on Windows or Linux without macOS access
- User requires testing on physical iOS devices and cannot use simulator-based testing
- User needs to test all advanced camera hardware features not available through AVFoundation APIs
- User works with non-standard camera frameworks that do not integrate with system-level virtual cameras
- User requires real-time performance testing under actual network conditions that simulator cannot replicate
