In my previous PR -> https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21163 I had attempted to build universalAPK only for release builds but had missed out on these changes.
This commit ensures `universalApk` value of `gradle` config is properly set.
This commit also points to my branch in `status-jenkins-lib` which modifies the APK size restrictions.
Its not `110 MB` for Universal APKs and `70 MB` for Individual Architecture APKs
This change will now allow for customizing the port number when running the metro server. The environment variable `RCT_METRO_PORT` can now be set when executing commands like `make run-ios`, `make run ios-device`, and `make run-android`. Though, it should be noted that `make clean` may need to be ran before attempting to set or change `RCT_METRO_PORT` since the react-native app will have statically built code that references the value of RCT_METRO_PORT from compile time and not runtime.
In this commit:
- we set `ANDROID_ABI_SPLIT` to `true`
- we set `ANDROID_ABI_INCLUDE` to `arm64-v8a` for debug & PR android builds
- release builds would still contain `armeabi-v7a;arm64-v8a` and there is no change for E2E android builds
- we point to relevant changes in `status-jenkins-lib` which also introduces a size check for this `apk`.
The agreed threshold is 100 MB.
fixes#19081
## Summary
This PR aims to improve android build step for debug variants by ensuring we do not rebuild the android derivation for any change made to `clojurescript` code.
We also do the following things :
- enable `JVM` parallel garbage collector.
- get rid of `dexOptions` which was deprecated in `gradle 8`.
- add additional `parallel` flag to `gradle` to speed up builds.
## Review notes
- `make run-clojure`
- `make run-android`
- ctrl + C on android terminal and edit any `cljs` file
- `make run-android` ( should build almost instantly )
fixes#18831
We update the nix derivation to build android by passing `hermesEnabled` flag which checks the environment variable and if the environment variable is not set we default `hermesEnabled` to `true`.
This ensures that `hermes` is disabled for debug builds and enabled for release builds.
In this commit we also
- rename `nix/mobile/android/release.nix` → `nix/mobile/android/build.nix` since that nix file no longer generates release only builds.
- cleanup 2 other env vars and use the `gradle` project format
- replace `BUILD_NUMBER` with `verisonCode` for consistency
- replace `androidGradleOpts ` with `buildUrl `
- bump `status-jenkins-lib` to v1.8.7
