android_device osx support

[codesuki]

After playing around with this rule it seems only linux is supported.
Is there a timeline for osx support?

[jin]

There isn't a timeline for macOS support. The Linux constraint, AFAIK, is due to a dependency of android_device called unified launcher, which is hosted in android-testing-support-library. I have opened android/android-test#39 for this feature request.

Thanks for the info and opening an issue in the right place!
I didn't confirm yet but at least it seems to work with manually started emulators, too.
Looking forward to the android_instrumentation_test rule to run unit tests on the device.

[jin]

Downgrading to P4 as there's a rewrite of the android_device rule happening, and the launcher will also be rewritten with multiplatform support as a goal.

Is there a github issue for the android rules rewrites that can be referenced here, for tracking? (and more generally we can subscribe to)
