[Feature Request] VSCode extension for STF

[SaadBazaz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hello, my team and I use STF for building mobile apps and testing them on real devices. I would like to know if there's any plan to support an official VSCode extension for STF (or if one already exists, could you redirect me to it).

Describe the solution you'd like

• VSCode extension
• Directly run Android/Flutter/React Native debug-mode on the device
• See who is using the device, if the device is active etc
• Directly launch the extension in a split view once device connects successfully to Flutter/Android

Describe alternatives you've considered
Running in the browser is nice and all, but I want the team to have even closer access within their IDE.

Additional context
Ideas and thoughts are welcome.

Hi, I am a flutter developer working at GrayHat. I have a proposed solution to this issue.

Proposed solution:

The extension would allow users to authenticate with STF directly inside VS Code by configuring the endpoint and logging in through the IDE. After authentication, the user can browse a list of available devices, including their current status (idle or in use) and device specifications.

Once a device is selected, a Preview Device button will open the live STF device view in a split editor panel, enabling developers to interact with the device without leaving the IDE.

Suggestions and feedback

I would appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, or enhancements you may have for improving this workflow.

@SaadBazaz , your feature request is not directly related to the STF code; to implement it, you need to develop your own STF plugin for VS Code using the STF RESTful API.

That is fair. We're building one for internal purposes. If we open-source it, I'll drop it here for people to use.
