• Apple platform management (maui apple) — Xcode, simulator, and runtime management (macOS)
• Device listing (maui device list) across all connected platforms
• DevFlow app automation (maui devflow) — visual tree inspection, element interaction, screenshots, WebView/CDP automation, network monitoring, profiling, storage access, real-time log/sensor streaming, and MCP server for AI agents
• Version info (maui version)
• Global options — --json for CI pipelines, --verbose, --dry-run, --ci
