Boots and drives Android AVDs and iOS simulators from the CLI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Emulator Testing

Drive a booted Android emulator or iOS simulator from the CLI for agent-in-the-loop testing: launch it headless, wait for a real boot, act on it with `adb`/`simctl`, verify with a real file parser (not a vibe check), shut it down clean.

**Out of scope**: installing the Android SDK, creating AVDs, or setting up Xcode/simulators.
Assume `$ANDROID_HOME`/`PATH` and an existing AVD, or Xcode + simulator runtimes, are already in place. This skill is about driving them.

§2's `adb` primitives work unmodified against a real physical device over USB (same commands, target it with `adb -s <device_serial>`). §1's boot/lifecycle flags and §4's `simctl` lane are emulator/simulator-only and don't apply to physical hardware.

## Decision Tree

```
Target platform?
├─ Android → live on this host → §1 boot the emulator → §2 drive it → §3 Flutter tests
└─ iOS     → needs a Mac → run over ssh to your macOS host → §4 simctl lane → §3 Flutter tests
```

### Headless Boot

```bash
emulator -avd <avd_name> \
  -no-window -no-audio -no-boot-anim \
  -gpu swiftshader_indirect \
  -no-snapshot-save \
  -read-only &

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add uwuclxdy/agenticat/emulator-testing@sha256:03acced458a96895

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
