Xenko Game Studio 3.0.0.1 should not require a connected device to Build (F6) the android APK. Build and Run of course, but there should be an option for generating and signing the APK in the absence of a connected device.

Research direction
Investigate how the Android build (F6) currently works in Stride, focusing on the build scripts or CI configuration that require a connected device. Look for existing command line options or environment variables that control device detection. Consider adding a flag like ' no device' or a project setting to allow APK generation without a connected device. The issue is old (2018) and has only one comment, so clarify if this is still desired and if there are any prior attempts or discussions in linked issues.
