Can VS Code run on Android

Question

Does anybody know about plans of MS to support running VS Code so it can run on Android OS

User · Accepted Answer

Running VS Code on Android is not possible, at least until Android support is implemented in Electron. This has been rejected by the Electron team in the past, see electron#562

Visual Studio Codespaces and GitHub Codespaces an upcoming services that enables running VS Code in a browser. Since everything runs in a browser, it seems likely that mobile OS' will be supported.

I don t agree with the accepted answer that the lack of electron prevents VSC on Android   Electron is really the desktop equivelent of projects like Apache Cordova or Adobe PhoneGap  but Electron is much less efficient and will presumably give way to solutions much closer to Cordova PhoneGap when possible - it is already being worked on eg  here     API s would need to be mapped from their electron equivelents  and many of the plug-ins will have their own issues  but Android is reasonably flexible about allowing stuff like Python compared to iOS  so it is doable   On the other hand  the demand for an Android version of VSC probably comes from people using the new Chromebooks that support Android  and there is already a solution for ChromeOS using crouton  available here
