Recently, I discovered that you can develop in a Docker Container in a very simple manner using VSCode with two extensions, Remote Containers and Docker.
If you have Docker installed on your machine and VSCode with these two extensions, you can develop any application in a Docker container using any language or framework in any version.
And you can also share that exact configuration to anyone in your team (pretty useful according to me).
My side project is a Go application which helps for Pentesting Android application as it deobfuscate application, repackage and reinstall a instrumented application on you android device.

androSecTest
From this app, Connect a Phone, Extract any app from It, Decompile, Deobfuscate, Remove Certificate Pinning and Repackage it. Meanwhile, Perform some Static and Dynamic Analysis on It.

Here is a quick Cheat Sheet to test the security of an Android app that AndroSecTest is doing.
You can have a quick look at how the application is pentesting an Android app on Youtube : https://youtu.be/zzyTFjnwolo
Easiest Way to Try It
Use the docker Container
-
Build the Docker Container that has all the dependencies and tools already installed.
docker build . -
Connect your Android Device
2.1. Be sure that the "adb server" is not running on the host machine as an android phone can only be connected to one adb server at a given time.
2.2. USB connection is not working from host device to Container on MacOS, so it is only working on a Linux host for the time being.
-
Run the Docker Container
docker run -it --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb "The Container ID"3.1
-itis here so that we can have an iteractive session.3.2.
--privileged…
But enough talking about this application.
I had a hard time figuring out how to debug my Go application in a Docker container and I made a video and this post so that you are not going to waste your time figuring out how to set everything up properly.
Just follow the steps described in that video (french audio, english subtitles).
