Same thing with XCode. I'd love a mobile app development pipeline that lets me never use either Android Studio or XCode. Let me drive everything with scripts and/or VSCode extensions.
All development work takes place in VS code, including the incredibly incredibly convenient and performant hot code reload, as well as the final step of "flutter build ios"/"flutter build aab"
It is an experience with very few pain points* and I find it to be very enjoyable.
*except for the random Cocoa Pods error every few months which can be solved by random helpless googling and then deleting the podfile.lock
VSCode isn't bad but disliking Android Studio just feels like you started with it and didn't want to learn a different tool.
It's a native Android app (Kotlin) which isn't developed using Android Studio. Gradle only.
