boot

This tool on every surface: CLI · MCP · Python · JavaScript · Go · Java · .NET

Start an Android emulator by its AVD's name, or an iOS simulator by its name or UDID, and wait until it has booted — adb sees it and Android says boot completed, or simctl's boot status returns — answering with its serial or UDID. These call app_boot.

boot​

def boot(name: str, window: bool=False) -> dict

Start an Android emulator by its AVD's name, or an iOS simulator by its name or UDID, and return once it has booted: device (its serial or UDID), name, platform, and already when it was running. An emulator cold-boots headless unless window.
