It would be great to have ONE single page describing a reliable recipe for setting up a system for Android builds in v9. I suppose we'd need one for macOS, Win, and Linux. It would need to be tech-edited for completeness, to make sure steps very familiar to the author are not glossed over for newcomers.
Y'all know how much I like LC, and how long I've been using it. But somewhere in the v9 cycle I lost the ability to generate builds for Android, and piecing a recipe together from various parts of lessons and posts on this list has thus far failed to fix that for me.
If I'm having such difficulty, it seems safe to imagine a hundred others have the same, and many aren't as hooked as I am so they just uninstall LC and move on to anything with a more integrated build experience.
