Lynx has an interesting way for developing and previewing mobile applications (others like expo have similar features). Instead of having a full android studio and related SDKs and building an apk, you just need to install their app on your phone, and then you can compile your app to a bundle (which is a tar file containing js files of the project) and send it to the phone by serving it and scanning the qr code on the explorer. Then it runs your app and you can change it with hot reload. I was able to run their get started app in less than 5 minute without having android studio on my machine.

I think a similar android app explorer would be nice for dioxus. A dioxus app could be compiled in to a dynamic library that expose a C api for rendering and other jobs, and the app explorer could load this .so at runtime and run the app on the fly, and it could even enable hot reloading for mobile apps.
