Android and iOS MCP debugging

Debug Android and iOS
without device setup drag.

MixDebugger connects real mobile devices to Visual Studio, VS Code and AI editors for source debugging, UI automation, mirroring and performance analysis.

Does not require AppleMobileDeviceService, but coexists with existing AMDS/iTunes setups. No ADB setup. No root or jailbreak.

Visual Studio debugging an iOS device with MixDebugger

No prerequisite device stack

Remove the setup work before the real work.

AppleMobileDeviceService

No AMDS dependency, compatible with AMDS

MixDebugger does not require AppleMobileDeviceService to connect iOS devices, and it can coexist with machines that already have AMDS or iTunes installed.

adb install platform-tools

No ADB setup

Android device communication is built in, so teams can start debugging without preparing Android SDK tools first.

root / jailbreak

No root or jailbreak

Work with native devices for debugging and UI automation while keeping test hardware easier to maintain.

Core features

A lighter mobile debugging workflow.

MixDebugger combines device connection, Visual Studio debugging, UI automation, mirroring and MCP tools in one product workflow.

A+i

Android and iOS devices

Manage both major mobile platforms through one toolchain and a consistent control surface.

0

Fewer system dependencies

Avoid fragile local setup and keep the device layer predictable across developer machines.

Safe

Native device workflow

Use real phones and tablets without rooting or jailbreaking them for ordinary debugging work.

Pro

Performance analysis

Collect FPS, CPU, memory, power and network signals for optimization and regression analysis.

UI

UI automation

Record, replay and inspect UI trees for QA, regression testing and AI-assisted workflows.

MCP

Native MCP tools

Expose device capabilities to Claude, Cursor, Cline and other AI editors through MCP.

IDE integration

Work inside the IDE you already use.

Visual Studio and VS Code become a mobile debugging workstation for source, symbols, disassembly and device interaction.

Source-level debug

Swift and Objective-C breakpoints in Visual Studio

Set breakpoints, step through code, inspect stacks and watch expressions directly in the editor.

  • Swift, Objective-C and C++ workflows
  • Conditional breakpoints and tracepoints
  • Call stack, locals and watch windows
  • Exception and Metal shader debugging

Symbol fetch

Automatic symbol download and cache

MixDebugger locates and caches system framework and third-party library symbols to restore readable call stacks.

  • Apple system symbols download and cache
  • Third-party dSYM matching
  • Support for stripped binaries
  • Symbols visible in disassembly views
Visual Studio symbol modules view

Disassembly

ARM disassembly and register inspection

Investigate crashes, low-level behavior and performance hot paths with instruction-level visibility.

  • ARM64 and ARMv7 disassembly
  • Registers, memory and calling conventions
  • Function address jumps and references
  • Mixed source and assembly views
Visual Studio disassembly view

Device mirroring

Real-device mirroring and interaction

Mirror Android or iOS screens into the workstation and control devices with mouse and keyboard.

  • Low-latency device mirroring
  • Mouse, keyboard and touch forwarding
  • Side-by-side multi-device workflows
  • Screenshot and recording support
