[bug] running `tauri android init` returns `NDK_HOME` environment variable isn't set, but the NDK is installed

[TickJar]

Describe the bug

After following the prerequisites doc to the letter, installing Android Studio and downloading all the latest SDKs and NDKs, I'm still getting this error when running tauri android init:

action request:  to initialize Android environment; Android support won't be usable until you
fix the issue below and re-run `tauri android init`!
    Have you installed the NDK? The `NDK_HOME` environment variable isn't set, and is
    required: environment variable not found

What can be causing this to KEEP happening? This results in Android Studio reporting Error running 'app' Default Activity not found after running tauri android dev

Reproduction

No response

Expected behavior

Tauri should be able to detect the installed NDK

So i assume by "following the prereqs" included this android part right? https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/#android If so, can you share the output of ls $ANDROID_HOME/ndk ?

So I have run into this a few times. It seems like following the guide you mentioned above points NDK_HOME to a folder that doesn't exist... but it does...
