v2.0.3

The first ShadowDroid 2 release: the whole Android development loop for your agent, with no IDE in the middle.

  • Apply Changes: app apply puts each code edit on the running app, usually in place in about two seconds with state kept.
  • Own debuggers: Kotlin and Java over JDWP, C and C++ over the NDK's LLDB, without Android Studio.
  • ShadowDroid runtime: layout trees, Compose recomposition counts and coroutine dumps from any debuggable app, with no build changes.
  • Plugins: Claude Code and Codex plugins, with a live device viewer, annotations and tap-to-test recording.
  • Agent experience: compact output (48% faster, 34% fewer tokens in our benchmark), occlusion-aware taps, ui wait --stable, ui audit --a11y.
  • Windows support for the CLI, debuggers, runtime and viewer.
  • Security: the proxy verifies upstream TLS by default, and local control channels are authenticated.

Breaking: the Android Studio integration and the in-app AAR are removed; ShadowDroid moved to the shadowdroid-dev organization (old URLs redirect) and ships as binaries only.

Known issues: native debugging on macOS needs NDK 30 or newer; native crash stops on arm64 emulators may show ART's fault hook instead of the faulting line.

Full details are in the changelog.

Install: brew install shadowdroid-dev/tap/shadowdroid, or see shadowdroid.dev. Update: run shadowdroid update.
