Run Expo Simulators in a Bitrise workflow

Expo Simulators can be integrated into a Bitrise workflow to remotely run an iOS Simulator session on EAS, install an Expo Simulator build, automate app interactions with agent-device, and upload screenshots and recordings as Bitrise build artifacts. The workflow uses an Expo robot user token stored as the redacted EXPO_TOKEN Bitrise Secret, runs on an Ubuntu Linux stack because no local macOS simulator is required, and starts a session using an existing simulator-targeted iOS build or compatible application archive. Script steps verify access, start the session, open and test the app, capture media to the Bitrise deployment directory, and use always-run cleanup and deployment steps to stop recordings and sessions even when earlier commands fail. The guidance emphasizes avoiding exposure of controller tokens written to .env.eas-simulator, preventing their inclusion in logs or artifacts, and adding the file to .gitignore. Android APK support is available but remains under development, while Expo Simulators itself is described as a limited beta with additional documentation for APIs and parallel sessions.
