The advanced mode currently requires the user to connect their device to a computer from where they invoke a command in an adb prompt. This is kinda cumbersome process that might scare off many people from doing it either because its complexity, or just because they're not too tech savvy.
While it's not currently possible to activate the advanced mode without developer mode on a phone and invoking an adb command, it might be possible to get rid of the computer part.
Some apps, for example LlamaLab's Automate are able to connect to the adb over localhost and invoke commands from them.
I have no idea how the adb works but doing quick search I found this doc that while being focused mostly on USB should probably explain the basics on how to implement an adb protocol even over TCP.
It sounds like a fairly large feature compared to the size of the app, but might be worth it to provide users with better experience 😊
