Your AI agent can't open your mobile app. Here's the plumbing that fixes it

Description and use

The AI agent’s inability to interact with a mobile app is resolved by building a pipeline that connects it to a simulator, provides typed tools, records interactions as Maestro flows, and runs them in CI.

Problem

An AI agent cannot interact with a mobile app because the plumbing to enable device access, typed tools, and test generation is missing.

Outcome

The agent can now interact with the mobile app, generate deterministic tests, and integrate them into CI, reducing flakiness caused by unstable fixtures.

Workflow

• Give the agent a device via Maestro's MCP server
• Provide typed tools with declared names, schemas, and timeouts instead of a debug menu
• Have the agent leave a Maestro flow file (.maestro/) instead of a transcript
• Run the generated flow in CI on every PR

Evidence

Maestro's MCP server lets the agent tap, assert and explore on a simulator.

Source

Things like "log in as test user" or "reset cart" get a declared name, a schema and a timeout.

Source

Exploration ends as a Maestro flow in .maestro/. The agent writes the test.

Source

That flow runs on every PR like any other test.
