Add AdbRunner app management APIs (install/uninstall/launch/force-stop/list-packages)

[rmarinho]

Summary

Add app management APIs to Xamarin.Android.Tools.AdbRunner so the MAUI DevTools CLI can install, uninstall, launch, and force-stop Android apps on devices/emulators without consumers shelling out to adb install / pm / am.

Context

AdbRunner already exposes ListDevicesAsync, WaitForDeviceAsync, StopEmulatorAsync, GetShellPropertyAsync, RunShellCommandAsync, and (via dotnet/android-tools#305) reverse-port management. The next gap is the app lifecycle, which both the VS Code MAUI extension's ServiceHub and the MAUI DevTools CLI currently implement independently. See maui-labs#197 for the full audit.

Proposed API

namespace Xamarin.Android.Tools;

public partial class AdbRunner
{
 /// adb -s <serial> install [-r] [-g] <apk>
 public virtual Task<AdbAppInstallResult> InstallPackageAsync(
 string serial,
 string apkPath,
 bool replaceExisting = true,
 bool grantRuntimePermissions = false,
 CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

 /// adb -s <serial> uninstall [-k] <package>
 public virtual Task<AdbAppOperationResult> UninstallPackageAsync(
 string serial,
 string packageName,
 bool keepData = false,
 CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

 /// adb -s <serial> shell am start -n <package>/<activity>
 /// If activity is null, resolves the launcher activity via cmd package resolve-activity.
 public virtual Task<AdbAppOperationResult> LaunchAppAsync(
 string serial,
 string packageName,
 string? activity = null,
 IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string>? extras = null,
 CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

 /// adb -s <serial> shell am force-stop <package>
 public virtual Task<AdbAppOperationResult> ForceStopAsync(
 string serial,
 string packageName,
 CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

 /// adb -s <serial> shell pm list packages [-3] [-s] [filter]
 public virtual Task<IReadOnlyList<string>> ListPackagesAsync(
 string serial,
 PackageFilter filter = PackageFilter.All,
 string? namePattern = null,
 CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
}

public record AdbAppInstallResult(
 bool Success,
 string? PackageName,
 string? ErrorCode, // INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE etc.
 string Stdout,
 string Stderr);

public record AdbAppOperationResult(bool Success, string Stdout, string Stderr);

public enum PackageFilter { All, ThirdParty, System, Disabled, Enabled }

Notes:

• InstallPackageAsync should parse the INSTALL_FAILED_* error codes that pm install returns and surface them in ErrorCode so callers can map to typed errors (the MAUI DevTools CLI maps these to E2xxx codes).
• LaunchAppAsync activity resolution: when activity == null, run cmd package resolve-activity --components <package> and use the name=... line.

Consumer

• MAUI DevTools CLI (dotnet/maui-labs) — new subcommands under maui android device: install, uninstall, launch, stop, list. See maui-labs#197 audit (these replace raw adb install / am start / am force-stop fallbacks in the DevFlow skills).
• VS Code MAUI extension ServiceHub → CLI migration. Today MauiAndroidPlatform.ts calls AndroidDeviceManager.installApp() / launchApp() / forceStopApp().
• DevFlow integration tests that boot an emulator, install the sample APK, launch, and tear down.
