Android SDK Command-line Tools

brew install --cask android-commandlinetools v14742923

Command-line tools for building, debugging, and managing Android development without the full IDE.

Why you might care

Essential for headless Android development, CI/CD pipelines, and developers who prefer command-line workflows over Android Studio. Lightweight alternative if you don't need the graphical IDE—just the SDK, emulator, and build tools.
