Hello folks, The Android Tech Leads met Wednesday, May 15. In recognition of the changing nature of the Android ecosystem work, we're going to meet every second week: most of the big problems have solutions (or sketches for solutions) and there's less ongoing group coordination required. Yay!
The principle topic of yesterday's discussion was about stripping native libraries in Gradle. The conversation started because the Application Services team discovered that *it is critical to set $ANDROID_NDK_HOME* when building native libraries in order for symbols to be properly stripped. This launched a wide conversation about stripping, providing debug information, providing symbols using the Mozilla Symbol Server <https://tecken.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html>, the key points of which were: 1. We'd like to include symbols in distributed native libraries 2. Gradle is supposed to strip symbols by default but unfortunately doesn't always do so 3. We've started to strip distributed native libraries to work around Gradle 4. You can download symbols from https://symbols.mozilla.org/ if needed See the notes <https://docs.google.com/document/d/13A6BEQa06mtJsqExuxSrfblwM3OS5QEdZJ8K4_x7wUE/edit?ts=5cdc87ae#heading=h.c7q7b9qzx1cf> for more. Whistler! Whistler! Nick
