# Developer Device Platform

Book a real Android phone and connect to it from where you are

## What this does

You need to test on a real Android phone you do not physically have. This helps you book one, connect to it, see how your session is doing, and keep it a bit longer or hand it back. Reach for it when you are working with remote Android hardware rather than a device on your desk.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Reserve a remote Android device
- Open a connection tunnel to it
- Check on my session or extend the lease

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Developer Device Platform safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Developer Device Platform and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 426c0776b0ad, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/developer-device-platform-basics.
