AISummary of 1 article

Shopify Engineering describes Reflex, an architecture that separates mobile app business logic from the UI so agents can read state, run actions and verify results from the command line without simulators.

Shopify says iOS and Android stay native but share behavior tests, and more than 1,700 tests finish in about 4 minutes in CI.

Shopify says Reflex does not verify pixels or confirm that buttons are wired correctly. It is also not yet an installable open-source library, so teams must build the architecture and adapter layer themselves.
