SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Installing an app can be slow and error-prone because you must pick the right platform, select the correct device or simulator, and run the right build/install commands for that environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Platform auto-detection: Detects Android, iOS, Flutter, and other cross-platform project setups by inspecting common build files and manifests.
  • Device targeting & validation: Selects the appropriate emulator, simulator, physical device, or specific serial/UDID based on user flags and available connected targets.
  • Build + install workflow with fallbacks: Builds the correct variant when needed and installs via the platform-native tooling, with error handling that can fall back to building via /skills:build.

Quick Start

Ask: Install the app on my available device using the debug variant.

Frequently Asked Questions about install

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What's the best way to handle device targeting when deploying mobile apps?▼

Device targeting is handled by selecting the appropriate emulator, simulator, or physical device based on user flags and connected targets. The system validates available targets and matches them against your specified serial or UDID to ensure the build installs on the correct runtime environment.

Why does my mobile app installation fail when switching between debug and release variants?▼

Installation failures during variant switches are mitigated by targeted error recovery and build fallbacks. The system detects build system details, executes platform-specific build commands for the correct variant, and can fall back to building via standard build skills before attempting the installation.

Can I install cross-platform apps without manually specifying the build system?▼

Yes, cross-platform apps can be installed without manual build system specification through parallel platform detection. The process inspects common build files and manifests to automatically identify Android, iOS, or Flutter setups before selecting the appropriate platform-native tooling.

Do I need a connected emulator to install an iOS or Android app for testing?▼

A connected emulator or physical device is required to install an iOS or Android app. The workflow validates available connected targets, selecting an appropriate simulator or physical device based on your provided flags, to execute the platform-specific installation commands successfully.
