Could you build this?
Partial While the client-side SDKs and CLI are standard, establishing an ADB-less, root-less remote Android automation system requires custom Android Accessibility Services, ScreenCapture APIs, and encrypted network tunnels.
What it would actually take: The stack comprises an Android client (Kotlin) utilizing Android AccessibilityService and MediaProjection APIs, custom end-to-end encrypted WebRTC/WebSocket communication (AES-256-GCM), a Go relay server, and client libraries in Python/Node. The hard parts are bypassing OS background restrictions reliably across diverse OEM Android skins and maintaining fast, low-latency remote gesture injection without ADB.
