Android emulator automation is not the same as device automation

Short summary

Emulator automation provides repeatability and debugging capability for workflow development, while physical device testing catches real-world variations, manufacturer behavior, and hardware differences affecting users. Use a sequential approach: build on emulators, then validate on representative devices. LaiCai Flow enables visible, debuggable automation workflows across both environments.

• •Emulator automation excels at repeatability and debugging; physical devices catch real-world hardware, manufacturer UI, and permission variations
• •Sequential workflow: develop and refine on emulators first, then move stable checks to representative physical devices
• •LaiCai Flow provides visible automation that works across both environments while remaining maintainable and reviewable
