test-android-apps — Codex plugin: test Android apps
A plugin for Codex and ChatGPT that drives an Android emulator: reproduce a bug, grab screenshots, inspect the UI, pull logs.
Open on GitHubWhat test-android-apps does
The plugin gives your agent a workflow around the Android emulator. It reproduces a problem, takes screenshots, walks the UI tree, captures logs and profiles performance. All inside a Codex or ChatGPT session, so you are not juggling windows.
Under the hood it leans on adb, logcat and uiautomator, with simpleperf and perfetto named for profiling. Memory, leaks and heap are listed too, so heavy cases are covered. Handy when a bug only shows up on a device and you need evidence fast: a log, a screenshot, a trace.
Running it without an emulator and a working adb will get you nowhere, since the whole flow is built on them. Published by OpenAI under MIT.
