Through USB connection and debugging protocols (iOS's XCTest framework or Android's UIAutomator), external programs can directly read the accessibility tree without image recognition.
Traditional mobile automation solutions (Appium, UIAutomator frameworks, or RPA tools) typically operate on test accounts or simulated environments and cannot access data such as real users' everyday app login states.
Traditional UI automation frameworks (such as Appium and UIAutomator) capture the control tree via Accessibility services or system APIs, and locate elements based on resource-id, class name, or XPath.
