For researchers developing mobile GUI agents, this benchmark provides the first verifiable evaluation on real closed-source apps, exposing the limitations of current agents in realistic workflows.

AndroidDaily introduces a benchmark of 350 tasks across 94 real-world closed-source Android apps, paired with GRADE, an automatic evaluator achieving 87.37% human agreement. The best model achieves only 62.0% success, revealing a significant gap in practical mobile GUI agent performance.

The rapid development of GUI foundation models and mobile GUI agents has spurred numerous evaluation benchmarks, yet most rely on simulated environments or open-source applications, leaving real-world closed-source applications largely unevaluated. The core difficulty is that closed-source applications do not expose internal states, making traditional automatic verification inapplicable. To bridge this gap, we introduce AndroidDaily, a large-scale benchmark comprising 350 realistic daily-use tasks across 94 high-frequency Android applications spanning transportation, shopping, local services, entertainment, content creation, social media, and everyday utilities. To enable automatic and verifiable assessment in these opaque environments, we propose Guideline-grounded Reviewer for Automatic Diagnostic Evaluation (GRADE), a process-aware evaluator built on a three-tiered system of observable external guidelines: operational obligations, output quality, and negative constraints. GRADE tracks the agent's visual trajectory against these criteria and produces step-level diagnostic judgments, turning long-horizon, open-ended mobile interactions into verifiable evaluation without relying on hidden internal states. Experiments show that GRADE achieves 87.37\% agreement with human evaluators. The strongest model reaches a 62.0\% success rate on AndroidDaily, highlighting a substantial gap between current reasoning capabilities and practical execution in realistic mobile workflows.
