Could you build this?

Partial While the gRPC boilerplate and UI can be vibe-coded, cross-compiling, provisioning, and managing Android SDK/NDK toolchains and emulators on AArch64 hardware requires deep platform and low-level Linux/Android expertise.

What it would actually take: The product requires a gRPC daemon orchestrating Android development tooling on ARM64 Linux, interfacing with ADB, QEMU/KVM for hardware-accelerated ARM64 Android emulation, and Gradle build pipelines. The hard part is managing native ARM64 Android toolchain incompatibilities, kernel-level KVM virtualization permissions, and packaging complex C/C++ cross-compilation toolchains into a reliable development kit. It requires specialized Android OS internals and Linux embedded systems knowledge.

Competitors mentioned: Android Studio, Google's official Android emulators and SDKs

Concerns raised: Unclear what a devkit is or what the workflow involves, Needs clearer explanation using non-technical terms for broader comprehension
