Now please let us install the apps just as easily
downloading an APK and opening it is already about as easy as it gets. the only thing easier would be for someone else to do it for you
Agents will allow human programmers to get what they've been begging for decades now: proper requirements and flexible, logical, tooling.
> Your agents perform best when they have a lightweight, programmatic interface to interact with the Android SDK and development environment. F you google. Me too. Why didn't we get a sane way to build android apps before you had to please chatbots?

Things that make systems more understandable to the LLMs ... usually make things more understandable for humans as well. Usually.
The biggest issue I've found is that vibed up tooling tends to be pretty bad at having the right kind of "sense" for what makes good CLI UX. So you still have awkward argument structures or naming. Better than nothing though

Since rafram is not the only one confused, yes, you really do.
It isn't that hard to understand: > Just wait until there are entire classes of vulnerabilities related to LLM usage This is a valid concern. There are going to be a new class of vulnerabilities which an LLM is involved which are going to be discovered and it will make it possible to cause catastrophic damage to a company; very easily. This won't be surprising since we have companies building casual remote code execu…
I mean, I guess if you're going to say "don't use LLMs", then you also don't want to let agents use the Android CLI, but it seems like raising an awfully general concern in a discussion about a very specific article.

Android CLI can write a tool that wraps android-cli and automatically passes the flag based on an env variable. How would Google have enough data about a brand new product without collecting that data?
They wouldn't. But on the other hand, they probably have a large amount of in-house Android app developers on whom they can conduct such metrics collection. I wouldn't expect outsiders to have vastly different workflows, because when you get out of the happy path with Android all you get is pain.
But can I publish an app without having to share my ID? I want an ecosystem that doesn't require it.
