Watch an AI agent test a mobile app

Описание и применение

Панель наблюдения Tapflow позволяет разработчикам в реальном времени видеть действия AI‑агента на мобильном устройстве, улучшая отладку и понимание тестов.

Задача

Developers cannot observe an AI agent’s actions on a mobile device in real time while the agent is driving a simulator.

Результат

The watch page enables real‑time monitoring of AI‑driven mobile tests, improving visibility and debugging of timing and UI‑tree issues.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Run a flow with tapflow flow run or start MCP server. 2. The connect_device call returns a watchUrl. 3. Open the watchUrl in a browser. 4. Observe the live device screen and interaction list. 5. Review actions such as taps, swipes, text entry, app launches, and links as they happen.
• 6. Use the watch page to debug timing and UI‑tree issues by inspecting the live view and interaction log.

The page is read-only, so clicking it does not send input to the device.

Up to four people can watch one session.

The page also shows an interaction list beside the device.
