phone-harness 0.2.0 adds Android control

phone-harness 0.2.0 extends agent-driven phone automation from iPhone to Android via ADB, with wired or wireless connections and parallel multi-device workflows. It also improves iOS reliability and interaction.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful step toward agents operating across real mobile ecosystems, though device permissions and UI variability remain the hard parts.

–Android support broadens the harness beyond Apple’s iPhone Mirroring workflow
–ADB provides a practical, developer-friendly control layer for Android devices
–Parallel phone control could enable cross-device testing, setup, and repetitive operations from one prompt
–The editable harness model lets agents adapt missing helpers during execution
–Reliability will depend heavily on foreground state, permissions, unlocking, and app-specific UI behavior
