Making Debug Build for Android

To ensure the output format is APK, add --target_android_output_format=apk to the build command:

npm run build -- Debug --target_os=android --target_arch=arm --target_android_output_format=apk

To change the target SDK level, add --target_android_base:

npm run build -- Debug --target_os=android --target_arch=arm --target_android_output_format=apk --target_android_base=mono

Installing a Build on Android

For devices or an emulator:

./src/build/android/adb_install_apk.py ./src/out/android_Debug_x86/apks/Bravex86.apk

Or:

adb install ./src/out/android_Debug_x86/apks/Bravex86.apk

If you have an AAB file:

bundletool build-apks --connected-device --bundle=out/android_Debug_x86/apks/Bravex86.aab --output=out/android_Debug_x86/apks/Bravex86.apks
bundletool install-apks --apks=out/android_Debug_x86/apks/Bravex86.apks
