As many of you may have seen from our I/O Connect announcements, we are actively working on having Android Studio work on IDX. Here is a teaser video: https://x.com/kirupa/status/1813693281039212735
Please join the waitlist to be among the first to try out this experience once we make it available for early testing: https://idx.google.com/android-studio

Personally, I can say from my experience building for iOS using react native, that the chief "native" functionality I need is 1. to have simple command line tools for building projects locally, and 2. a nice, speedy, hot reload, ios or android simulator. Right there on the right side of my code.
I'd pay for more compute too if it offered a speed up. xcode command line tools' nix packages don't seem to work at the moment, and some people have slow machines.
If I was still using XCode and doing Swift dev, I'd say some sort of browser xcode would be cool initially, but it seems so slow and klunky. But if you guys did instead integrate native dev tools within vscode, there are are a lot of cross platform tools like flutter and expo/react native that have a user base comfortable with Code OSS style editors.
I think if a code OSS style editor had deeper integration with native mobile dev for ios and other platforms. It would really be the finishing touch. You'd never have to leave. I'm just thinking how much time it could save dealing with long build times, simulators, env keys, signing.
For me option 1 wins.
It's something new that doesn't exist.
Either way, sounds like a pain for you guys, and a breeze for us. So thanks in advance for all these new tools, finally someone's getting around to it.
