Modding In mobile is hard
How about Making The PC Modding Same In mobile
Compacting The Units Json By Add A Code "Image":["Tank.png"],
Automatic Find the Folder / UnitIcon Folder
And "Image tileset":"["Tank.png"],
Automatically Goes to Com.unciv.app / Mods / "Mod" / TileSets / Tank.png

Just get yourself a PC. Some things are easier said than done, and that's one of them.

Sorry for a blunt answer. When it comes to code(json) editing on mobile - nothing can really be improved, unless you want to implement an ingame GUI like;
-> select a thing to add to your mod (>nation, tile etc)
-> set nation name, leader, all of the dialogues
-> add nation cities
-> add nation icon.

-> select a thing to add to your nation (>unit , unique ability, building)
-> set unit attack
-> choose unit type
-> choose free promotions.
-> add uniques
And so on. But that's a lot of work and wasted resources.

If you meant .atlas file generation, I don't think you can efficiently generate these on android device.

So that leads to conclusion; get yourself a pc, even a dirt cheap 15 year old machine should handle unciv + modding w/o problems.

Sorry, but i don't get what you are saying.
I've downloaded one of rusted warfare mod and I see .ini files, .template files and .png files.

No jsons, no atlases.
It uses sprite sheets for each unit.

And it does not look like unciv mods, it looks more complicated and time consuming than these in fact.

I don't see how it is easier to make rusted warfare mod than unciv mod, even on Android. Unciv even has built-in mod downloader. You might want to check:

for more info on unciv modding.

When it comes to json editing it's literally the same on both mobile and desktop.
You can't generate atlas (sprite sheet) files on android.
mods will work without atlas file, but no images will be displayed.

I've read this conversation three times and still haven't got a clue what you're arguing for. Writing on mobile is hard. In other news, doing integrals in one's head is difficult and composing with a pen is time-consuming.

The other guy telling you to get a PC wasn't being an 'AHole'. You'll need a PC at some point one way or another. You should learn to format your comments better and how to join two sentences; it's extremely difficult to understand your arguments.
