The tooling in 2026 is so easy you can do almost anything without AI very very quickly.
What tooling?
Like you can make a cross-platform react native app with expo in a day without any AI (a proper app, not a boilerplate). Same with many web apps.
Shadcn with themes and components, tailwind, temporal workflows, etc etc. The complexity of making apps was solved years ago.
I wish the same thing existed for Apple. Everything I do for macOS/iOS is already without Xcode but it's a pain in the ass to keep up with changes, and there are things I haven't figured out yet (like AUv3).
Doesn't Xcode allow you to plug in agents like VS Code does?
Android Studio on its deathbed. Just release VSCode plugin and kill it for good, it has been a buggy, slow mess for the last 3 years or so.
> 3x faster Because the real bottleneck is really the velocity of development, right next to keeping the codebase small - right guys?
Code-generation velocity, and the absolute number of lines churned are 2 metrics AI tools can irrefutably benchmaxx, so the vendors highlight them.
On the positive side, they've decided to come down from "superintelligence", "superchanging workflows" and other bullshit to the actual feature - 3x speed of text generation. Which is not quite the problem that needed to be solved in software engineering, but as you said yourself...

What I'm interested is in the CLI tool for my own use, not necessarily for agents.

Also coding agents will happily compile android applications (of maximum complexity) via Github Actions where you can just pick them up with Obtainium. No PC needed
What is obtainium.
The install command shown for Windows is 404. `curl -fsSL https://dl.google.com/android/cli/latest/windows_x86_64/inst... | bash` The URL shown for individual OSs work, but the script errors for me. `curl.exe -fsSL https://dl.google.com/android/cli/latest/windows_x86_64/inst... -o "%TEMP%\i.cmd" && "%TEMP%\i.cmd"` I manually downloaded the exe, but it say socket error. vibe coding is going strong!
Goggles Android tooling has been like this forever, nothing to do with AI.

I honestly have no idea what is going on. Lots of broken things in what's supposed to be front products for Google and other "high name" brands. I don't get it: Where is everybody? Is there no one there? Are these companies really dead inside?

An android app that tracks releases to install the latest versions of apps directly from github.
I use 'just' (command runner) and the 'gh' CLI to automate this:
# Build and publish a GitHub release
release: apk
VERSION="v$(date +'%Y.%m.%d')-$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"; \
APK="build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk"; \
REPO="$(git config --get remote.origin.url | sed -E 's#.*github.com[:/](.*)\.git#\1#')"; \
echo "Releasing $VERSION to $REPO"; \
git tag "$VERSION" 2>/dev/null || true; \
git push origin "$VERSION"; \
gh release create "$VERSION" "$APK" \
--repo "$REPO" \
--title "$VERSION" \
--notes "Automated release for $VERSION" \
|| gh release upload "$VERSION" "$APK" --repo "$REPO" --clobber
