Release automation for iOS and Android: lanes orchestrate builds, code signing management, screenshot generation and uploads to the App Store and Google Play, and agents can call a project's existing lanes directly.

MCP built into the CLI of the Maestro mobile UI testing framework (maestro mcp): lets agents view the screen, tap, scroll and assert on iOS/Android simulators, Android devices or Chromium, and write and run YAML end-to-end flows. Needs the Maestro CLI and Java 17+. Official.

Write end-to-end UI tests for Android, iOS and web apps in YAML. The CLI includes an MCP server (maestro mcp) so coding agents can tap, assert and generate tests on simulators. Requires Java 17+.

Lets agents control iOS and Android simulators and real devices: reads the accessibility tree first and falls back to screenshot coordinates, and can swipe, install and uninstall apps, record the screen and read device logs. Requires Xcode or Android platform tools.

NetEase's open-source cross-platform UI automation framework: locates elements by image recognition to automate games and apps on Android, iOS and Windows without touching their code. airtest run executes cases and airtest report builds HTML reports.

Reproduces issues on the Android emulator: installs builds, drives the UI with adb, dumps the UI tree, takes screenshots, captures logcat, and gathers performance evidence with Simpleperf and Perfetto. OpenAI's official Codex plugin; needs the Android SDK.

From Callstack: lets coding agents drive and verify iOS, Android, HarmonyOS and desktop apps through accessibility snapshots, with taps, form filling, screenshots, logs and performance sampling, plus a built-in MCP server. Requires Node.js 22.12+.

Appium's official MCP server: lets agents start sessions on Android and iOS emulators and real devices, locate elements, tap, type and take screenshots, and generate Java/TestNG test code. Needs the Android SDK or Xcode.

Cross-platform UI automation skills built on Midscene.js visual recognition: control browsers, desktops, Android, iOS and HarmonyOS devices in natural language, and set up Vitest + Midscene E2E tests. Bring your own vision model API key; maintained by the Midscene team.
