Developer identifies key gaps in AI agent tools for React Native app testing

A developer building a tool to let an AI agent test a React Native application encountered fundamental limitations in its design. The original tool operated only within the Claude Code agent and lacked visibility for the human operator, who could not monitor its actions in real time. The tool's safety mechanism, which relied on scanning button labels for risky words, was also found to be insufficient. Further investigation revealed that agents cannot accurately verify their work by checking standard iOS logs or React's source mapping, as these sources often omit JavaScript errors and provide incorrect line numbers.
