Description:
The current output of the list_packages tool is limited to:

| Package Name                                | APK Path                                                                 |
|---------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| com.android.systemui.emulation.pixel_3_xl   | /product/overlay/SystemUIEmulationPixel3XL/SystemUIEmulationPixel3XLOverlay.apk |

This format provides only the package name and the APK path, but lacks the more user-friendly App Name, making it harder to identify apps quickly, especially when dealing with many packages.

Suggested improvement:

| App Name                     | Package Name                              | APK Path                                                                 |
|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Pixel 3 XL System UI Emulation | com.android.systemui.emulation.pixel_3_xl | /product/overlay/SystemUIEmulationPixel3XL/SystemUIEmulationPixel3XLOverlay.apk |

Benefits:

  • Improves readability and usability of the tool output;
  • Helps LLM more easily identify target applications;

Implementation suggestions:

The App Name can be retrieved using: scrcpy --list-apps
