limrun-android-emulator
Drive an app running on a Limrun cloud Android emulator: install an APK, launch and terminate apps with crash reports, tap, type, read the UI element tree, screenshot, record video, inject microphone audio, shape network bandwidth, read app logs, run shell commands, transfer files, tunnel the app's network destinations through your machine with HTTP inspection and HAR capture, and use adb over the CLI's tunnel for full logcat and interactive tools. Use after a build (from limrun-gradle or any builder) when the user wants to see, test, or interact with their app on an emulator, or says 'show me a screenshot', 'tap', 'run it on the emulator', 'check logcat', 'record a video', 'inspect network traffic', or 'reach my local server from the emulator'. To build the APK or AAB first, use limrun-gradle.

What this skill does
Limrun Android Emulator Interact with an app running on a Limrun cloud Android emulator, from any environment (Linux, Windows, macOS, VM, container). This skill is build-agnostic: it assumes the APK was already built, usually by limrun-gradle. Keep build concerns in that skill; this one is about driving the running emulator. Never use a local emulator, a local Android SDK, or Android Studio. Auth and CLI Install if needed: npm install --global lim. Auth is lim login or LIMAPIKEY (it may be set outside the project, so don't ask for it just because it's missing from .env or the shell). The CLI is the source of truth: the commands in this skill are verified, but if a flag errors or you need one not shown here, check lim android <subcommand> --help instead of guessing. Installing an app You can build with Limrun's remote Gradle service and have the APK installed on a fresh emulator automatically, or install a pre-built local APK or a URL. One default to know first: lim android create opens an ADB tunnel (--connect) and a browser tab with the live stream (--open) unless told otherwise. As an agent, pass --no-open always, and --no-connect unless you need adb right away. Build and install Upload the APK built by limrun-gradle as a named asset, then create an emulator with it pre-installed: Create blocks until the instance is ready to drive; no boot wait is needed. The create output includes a signed stream URL; share it with the user as a Markdown link, like Live emulator. If you have a browser the user can see, open the URL there and tell them. Create also prints a console URL: it opens the same live view but requires a console login, so prefer the signed stream URL for sharing. …
