What this skill does
Android device and emulator control from inside Orca over adb, with the live device view in Orca's emulator pane. Use when driving an adb-connected emulator or phone on Windows, Linux, or macOS: booting AVDs, taps, swipes, typing, hardware buttons, rotation, app install and launch, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and logcat. For an iOS simulator use the iOS emulator skill; build the APK with Gradle first.
