arXiv:2608. 07775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mobile agents have achieved promising results on clean online benchmarks such as AndroidWorld, yet their performance often degrades sharply in real-world deployment due to environmental variations and imperfect interface conditions.
arXiv:2605. 29486v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A central bottleneck for phone-use agents is that controllable, reproducible environments covering real mobile behavior are hard to build at scale.
MobileWorldSafety is a benchmark that evaluates the safety of large language model–powered GUI agents on Android by exposing them to 142 real-world risk tasks involving environmental injection attacks. The benchmark uses a two‑stage verification pipeline—rule‑based checks for clear cases and an LLM judge for ambiguous ones—to distinguish safety failures from capability failures. Experiments on six agents show high vulnerability, with attack success rates between 40.4% and 66.9%, highlighting that current agents often fail to remain safe when faced with adversarial content presented as normal mobile context.
arXiv:2608. 11434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mobile agent benchmarks increasingly rely on LLM-based judges to evaluate task completion, yet the reliability of these judges on mobile agent trajectories remains largely unexamined.
The paper introduces AnTrap, a benchmark that injects dynamic perturbations into Android GUI agent execution to evaluate robustness against runtime anomalies. It presents a taxonomy of anomalies across four layers—State, Thinking, Action, and Round—with ten subcategories, and a pipeline that maintains task solvability while adding realistic adversarial conditions. Experiments on 16 leading GUI models show universal vulnerability, and reinforcement learning can mitigate some traps but not deep contextual ones like state deadlock.

The paper introduces GMA, a new benchmark for evaluating general mobile assistants in realistic, challenging scenarios. GMA expands on existing benchmarks by offering seven open‑source applications across diverse domains and 300 tasks organized into four difficulty tiers, ranging from simple actions to complex multi‑step workflows. The authors evaluate eight state‑of‑the‑art models, showing that performance drops sharply with task complexity, and conduct ablation studies on harness design—such as context retention and state tracking—to demonstrate how these choices can improve outcomes, especially for demanding workflows.
APPSim-Bench is a new benchmark for mobile GUI agents that uses controllable simulated apps to balance realism and reproducibility. It includes 557 tasks across 17 popular Chinese and English apps, with a coding-agent-assisted and human-verified workflow that ensures deterministic evaluation. Evaluation of 19 agents shows that autonomous mobile execution is still far from perfect, with the best model completing only 50.27% of tasks and many failures in longer workflows and numerical reasoning.
