[Test Failed] Can TC be validated in an Android environment?

Test issue(s)

Hello,
Thank you for creating such an amazing open-source project.

I am developing an Android app using the chip-tool.
To obtain CSA certification, I am setting up a Test Harness (TH) and conducting tests using the PICS tool.
However, I have created this issue to ask if the testing process can be validated in an Android environment.

For example, let me take TC-DA-1.3 as a test case.
The command ./chip-tool pairing ble-wifi 1 zigbeehome matter123 20202021 3840 --trace_decode 1 needs to be executed, and the result should be verified.
In the Android environment, it is possible to attempt pairing using pairDeviceWithCode, but options like --trace_decode 1 cannot be applied. As a result, I cannot verify the logs required by the TC.

In conclusion, I have the following two questions:

1. Is Matter certification generally based on a Linux environment? In other words, is validation not possible in the Android environment?
2. If validation is possible in the Android environment, how can options like --trace_decode 1 be executed?

Thank you for reading, and have a great day!

Platform

Anything else?

1. Yes. Linux environment. Currently most controller-related tests cannot be validated by test harness. This has to be manual one
2. Test harness cannot be run in android environment

For application, you can consider to use android chip-tool as the baseline, then go with manual tests for android application certification or consider to use google for android home dev
