This is neat! Tried the finder example and was impressed how quick it was.

I would love it if it can support ios simulator, iphone? I am using Maestro but it is so damn slow and seems to be token hungry.

seems like this is for React Native, flutter won't expose the trees, bummer.

Guess I'm stuck with Maestro

this will work with Flutter. agents will use screenshots instead of a11y snapshots instead. It will be just less efficient and a bit more token hungry
