## Summary

A developer introduces DeviceMCP, an app that lets Codex or Claude control a real iPhone or iPad so an agent can install an iOS app and test it like a human. It mirrors the device to a Mac at 60fps over USB-C or WiFi, supports iOS Simulators, and reads UI hierarchy rather than using OCR, so agents can see hidden or off-screen buttons. Android support is listed as coming soon. The app is in development and offered at a 50% early-bird discount.

❌ Problem I'm trying to solve: Agent can't control my real iPhone 18 to test some features. I had to test manually, and it's wastes of time

✅ This app allows my agent (Codex/Claude) to fully control your real iPhone, e.g. ask Claude to install your iOS app to your iPhone 18, and start testing it like a human.

- Built for Agent: Your agent fully controls your iPhone/iPad, including Touch, open app, Swipe, ..
- High-quality Mirror your iPhone to the Mac with 60fps via USB-C or WiFi
- Support real iPhone/iPad & iOS Simulators
- Built with UI hierarchy, no OCR, your agent can see the hidden buttons or off-screen UIs
- Real Android device and Android Emulator (soon)

This app is still in development, so I'm happy to offer a 50% early bird discount 😊
