Test native, React Native, hybrid, and Flutter mobile apps with Appium 3.x, Detox, Maestro, and Patrol. Covers device farm setup (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs), gesture simulation, deep link and cold-start testing, push notifications, biometric (Face ID) auth, offline/poor-network simulation, and iOS/Android permission dialog handling. Use when: "mobile test," "Appium," "Detox," "Maestro," "Patrol," "Flutter test," "iOS test," "Android test," "device farm," "deep link," "biometric," "Face ID…

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

<objective>
A login test that passes on the iOS simulator but hangs forever on a real device because a location-permission dialog it never accounted for is sitting on top of the screen — that is the mobile failure mode this skill prevents. It delivers a runnable suite across native, React Native, hybrid, and Flutter apps with the right framework per app type, real-device-vs-emulator tiers, and first-class handling for the scenarios web frameworks cannot reach: deep links, push, biometrics, offline, and permission dialogs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/mobile-testing@sha256:facda36464fb4e8d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, 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.
