The PWA frameworks are pretty cool. Essentially just system level API hooks which then integrate into a existing React - NextJs - whatever projects. Granted it isn't touching bare metal like you said but it is a nice level of a abstraction and beats dealing with android studio ๐Ÿคข

Edit: I hear Expo is neat but I haven't used it yet.

beats dealing with android studio

It's been years since I went near Android for this reason, I've had some decent ideas for stuff I'd like to do on mobile but was so turned off on developing for the entire platform. Maybe I'll have to take a look at some of the new frameworks.

My trouble is I would prefer to write in an embedded style C/C++ for the agricultural stuff I want to do, and all this Java/JS stuff and heavy focus on fancy UX is really not my vibe.

I've used expo, which is really just react native with some helpful tooling around it. It was my first real project with react as well, and all and all I'd recommend it.

React native is pretty great, but there's a steep learning curve. Expo has some bugs, and once you get off the beaten path you might have some issues. You always have the option of ejecting to react native or native code, but the expo app is incredible - you can do live updates remotely, the app will just reload with the changes without rebuilding everything

I'll probably use it for most apps moving forward
