I found projects that have test code for binder under GNU/Linux[1][2],
however it seems to require selinux.

For getting a shell, it uses lxc directly[3]:

Though it uses Android specific paths. If we add a symlink from /bin/sh
to /system/bin/sh, it might work.

So it's probably not that hard to somehow generate an image where the
non-android specific functions could at least work for testing.

It might also be possible to use that as a starting point to later on
switch to Android images built with Guix.

As for building applications, beside the technical part that Julien is
working on as far as I understand, there is also the practical issue of
finding applications that are easy to review (without tons of
dependencies and so on) and that could work in Waydroid (Silence
requires a telephony stack to be useful, and Waydroid doesn't seem to
have one).

We started doing code review long time ago in Replicant[4] but I didn't
manage to complete a single review yet due to the lack of time.
