I wanted to build Conversations
on my macOS box, but never did modern Android stuff before.
It turned out it was (quite) simple to do.
(I already had jenv (brew install jenv) and
Java 8 (brew cask install java8) installed)
$ jenv global 1.8.0.202 # depends on the exact version you have
$ brew install android-sdk
…
$ yes|sdkmanager --licenses
Afterwards, you can build Conversations using the contained gradle wrapper:
$ ./gradlew assembleConversationsFreeSystemDebug
During signing this bailed, however, due to me having an older version
of bouncycastle
installed
in /Library/Java/Extensions. Version 152 wasn't good enough, but 162 is.
