3 use cases

  • Catch an app crash and read live state at the throw

    Set exception traps, reproduce the crash, and read locals and frames without a GUI.

    View prompt
    Use the Debroid CLI on the Android app <package-name>. Set an uncaught exception trap, trigger the crash path <steps-to-reproduce>, and run `debroid poll --with-stacktrace` followed by `debroid pause-state`. Return the exception class, the frame where it was thrown, and the local values at that point as JSON. Verify that the exception class matches the crash in the bug report before proposing a fix.

  • Pause at a suspect line and inspect its variables

    Set a line breakpoint, hit it, and read the object state the agent needs to test a hypothesis.

    View prompt
    Use the Debroid CLI to set a breakpoint in <class-name> at line <line-number> of the app <package-name>. Trigger <user-action>, then run `debroid pause-state --pretty` and `debroid inspect --max-depth=2`. Return the local variables and relevant object fields as JSON, and verify that the paused line matches the breakpoint you set.

  • Find which code writes a field that goes wrong

    Watch a field for access and modification, then read the stack at each change.

    View prompt
    Use the Debroid CLI to watch the field <field-name> in <class-name> of the app <package-name>. Run <user-flow> and then run `debroid poll --with-stacktrace`. Return each access or modification with its stack trace as JSON, and verify that the watched field name matches the one you set with `debroid points`.

How to use Debroid

  1. Check you have what it needs: Java JDK 11+ with JAVA_HOME set; Android SDK with adb in your PATH; An Android app you can build and run, with debugging enabled.
  2. Open PatilShreyas/debroid on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install the CLI with curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PatilShreyas/debroid/main/install.sh | bash
  4. Start the app suspended with debroid launch, or attach to a running app with debroid attach
  5. Set an exception trap with debroid catch-exception (uncaught only by default; add --caught if needed)
  6. Trigger the bug in the app, then read events with debroid poll --with-stacktrace (inferred, check the README)

These steps come from our top use case, Catch an app crash and read live state at the throw, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
