Description
https://skip.tools/docs/platformcustomization/#android-studio
The docs say to open Android Studio from Xcode with "Open with External Editor."
Dual-Platform Apps
To open your dual-platform Xcode app in Android Studio:
- Control-click the Android/settings.gradle.kts file and select Open with External Editor from the resulting context menu.
- In Android Studio, select File → Sync Project with Gradle Files
That only works if double-clicking on settings.gradle.kts in Finder would open Android Studio. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn't.
Instead, the documentation should say to "Open the Android/settings.gradle.kts file in Android Studio."

Research direction
Open the linked platform customization page and find the “Dual-Platform Apps” instructions. Replace the “Open with External Editor” wording with guidance to open Android/settings.gradle.kts in Android Studio, while retaining the Gradle sync step. Done means the page accurately describes the reliable workflow.
