[05] FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Which environments can I use?
- Codex, Claude, and Cursor have host packages. Other compatible MCP clients can connect to the server; embedded device panels require MCP Apps support.
- Is this only for React Native?
- No. Use Mobile Dev with Expo, React Native, SwiftUI, and other native mobile apps. React Native inspection connects to an existing Metro server.
- Can I use a real phone?
- Yes. Connect iPhones and iPads through Xcode, or Android devices through authorized USB or wireless debugging. Available controls depend on the platform and device.
- What do I need installed?
- An Apple Silicon Mac, plus Xcode for iOS or Android SDK tools for Android. iOS simulators need Xcode 26 or later; physical iOS discovery needs Xcode 27 or later.
- Does Mobile Dev build my app?
- Your agent uses the project’s existing build tools. Mobile Dev supplies the device view, app controls, inspection, logs, performance, and storage tools.
- What telemetry is collected?
- Plugin telemetry includes errors and aggregate plugin performance. App logs, screenshots, input, storage contents, and device recordings are excluded. Read the privacy guide for details and opt-out.
