⚡ Write Native with TypeScript ✨ Best of all worlds (TypeScript, Swift, Objective C, Kotlin, Java, Dart). Use what you love ❤️ Angular, React, Solid, Svelte, Vue with: iOS (UIKit, SwiftUI), Android (View, Jetpack Compose), Flutter and you name it compatible.
NativeScript is a hybrid mobile app framework that allows developers to build truly native iOS and Android apps using JavaScript, TypeScript, or Angular. Unlike frameworks that rely on WebViews, NativeScript provides direct access to native APIs, ensuring apps perform like native applications. It is ideal for developers who want the convenience of JavaScript while leveraging full native functionality.

First up: this isn't criticism of the original post in the slightest, it's a wonderful journey through figuring out how a weird device that wants to be on your wifi works.
If you have a device that speaks to an Android app, you want https://github.com/niklashigi/apk-mitm - it'll strip pretty much every known certificate pinning implementation from an apk, and it'll also rewrite the manifest so it'll trust the user-installed certs without having to root your device to modify the system store. Uninstall the original app, sideload the output of apk-mitm, and then you can use mitmproxy on a stock device.
The other thing is that if a device is providing encrypted data to an app, and the app is displaying the decrypted data, then the app inherently either contains the decryption key somewhere or downloads it from somewhere. https://github.com/skylot/jadx will turn an apk into something that approximates Java, and digging through that will often let you figure out what the key is. But some vendors will decide that the appropriate way to handle this is to kick the cryptography out to native code, at which point you're into having to RE something in Ghidra. Depending on your mindset this is either incredibly tedious or incredibly fun, but it's generally possible.
The author was able to build on top of work that had been done by others, but if you're ever faced with a situation where nobody else has done that work, don't just give up. It's worth spending time trying to figure out how code running on a device you own works, and even if you don't succeed in the end you're probably going to learn a lot in the process.
