Traditional Android debugging assumes you have both a computer and a phone. Code on the Go changes that by bringing the entire debugging workflow onto a single Android device. This post explains the technical challenges of building phone-native debugger, including privileged access, process management, and breakpoint handling, and how the team solved them while ensuring the debugger only works on the device running Code on the Go. The result is a fully self-contained Android development experience that lets developers write, build, run, and debug apps anywhere, without a laptop or internet connection.
