Alera Mobile Emulator

Use alera emulator to work with the single mobile-emulator tab associated with an Alera workspace. The runtime host owns device discovery, helper processes, input, observations, and lifecycle. Do not start adb, emulator, simctl, scrcpy, or serve-sim directly when this command surface is available.

Check Capabilities First

alera emulator --json capabilities

Read the backend-specific capability flags before planning an operation. Android and iOS do not expose identical actions. An unsupported operation returns unsupported_capability; use a supported alternative or stop instead of retrying unchanged.

--json belongs to the command group, before the subcommand:

alera emulator --json devices --platform android

Replies deliberately omit private stream URLs and tokens. The embedded Alera tab consumes those credentials internally; agents do not need them.
