FAQ

What does the installer do?

The installer contains a packaged script that automatically downloads Google's Android Build Tools package and unpacks it into Debian-friendly paths

Why doesn't main mainDexClasses work?

We still need to fix the proguard.sh dependency which is part of the tools package of the Android SDK
