Hello! To provide some context for this change - I'm from Google, working on the Android RISC-V project (https://github.com/google/android-riscv64). We recently landed support to build against the RISC-V ABI in the Android NDK (r27), and we're now starting to walk through all the libraries internally that we'd like to produce RISC-V artifacts for - in turn, we're looking at dependencies like dexmaker
that AndroidX needs to produce it's own artifacts.
I'd like to file a separate issue to get the maintainer's thoughts on how feasible it would be to publish RISC-V artifacts, but a prerequisite to even consider RISC-V is migrating to an AGP version that supports it. As upgrading AGP versions is orthogonal, I'm hoping we can enable AGP 8.5 with this change and consider RISC-V in a follow up PR.
The intent of this change is to migrate to Android Gradle Plugin 8.5.0, but as a consequence introduces a few other changes:
