Do I need Maestro MCP to explore and find mobile app components?▼

Yes, you need Maestro MCP for execution and device interaction. It is a required dependency for inspecting the live device and automating the navigation steps to locate specific components within the application.

What's the best way to automate finding the settings screen on a connected device?▼

The best way is to use an automated exploration tool that inspects the live UI hierarchy and screenshots. It will systematically tap and scroll through the app on your connected device to locate the settings screen.
