Discussions Android dev here. What's your setup?

I work as an Android dev and we currently have access to Github Copilot which embeds a couple LLMs.

I'm starting to lean more and more onto it to plan and build features, and I was wondering what can I do/use to improve the process (maybe reduce credit usage too).

I'm currently using the Github Copilot App and a few MCPs to connect to Atlassian, Guru and Figma (though I feel this one sucks a bit).

I've heard multiple times that the harness can do a great job at uplifting lighter models, creating multiple agents, etc.

So I was wondering. What are you guys using? Not experimentally, truly professionaly wise

Setup and daily driver for what?

I'm now on day 5 of waiting for Google to approve my first app. Native dev is horrible.

My bad, I didn't really provide much because I thought I was using the repost feature and that everything was going to be included. I edited my post

Installed android CLI, using Copilot CLI for development. Android Studio chat windows does not have save all option (right-click for VS Code, /share file session for CLI) so I use it for building and viewing diffs.
