Don't embed the frameworks in the git repo #39

Open snej opened 9 years ago

We shouldn't be embedding the frameworks inside the repo (in the lib directory.) It's inefficient to store big binary blobs in Git, and it hardcodes a specific version dependency, requiring us to update this repo every time we release a new version. (Or actually we haven't been, so developers complain that this repo is out of date.)

Instead there should either be a script to download the latest version of CBL, or the build instructions should require it to be copied into place (as with our demo apps.)

The following libs should also be excluded from beeing copied into the platforms/android/libs folder:

Expecially the "source"-JAR is about ~10MB, which increases the APK size a lot.

@snej I agree, we should at least have the option to rebuild the libs for iOS from source if we need to.
