I'm happy to improve the hidden service API that Orbot offers to make it
work for you. It is trivial for us to add support for requesting a
completely new hidden service.

Orbot can also support the temporary hidden service capability in tor,
where you generate and provide the .onion key yourself. The issue is
that you have to do that each time tor is restarted.

As Hans said, Briar is already doing quite a bit with HS management with
their built in Tor, but I do hope many apps will support HS without
building in tor as well.

You can also see what the Thali Project from Microsoft did here:
