VS Code extension that runs the Android Emulator and the iOS Simulator headless and controls the device screen inside the sidebar, like Android Studio's "Running Devices".
Quick start
bun install
bun run install:local # build + .vsix + install into VS Code
Then run Developer: Reload Window in VS Code and the Emulator icon shows up in the Activity Bar.
