• Application Management: Install, launch, or manage applications on target devices.
• Visual Diagnostics: Take screenshots of the devices and simulators screen.
• File Management: Seamlessly push files to or pull files from connected devices.
• UI Automation: Interact with the device through taps, swipes, text input.
• Log Management: Retrieve log files and system information from connected devices.
• Cross-Platform Support: Supports both Android and iOS environments.
