Update developer docs and add install-android-sdk Makefile target#8491
Conversation
- Rewrote README-dev.md to fix outdated versions, missing steps, and ambiguous instructions (flutter pub get, xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch, gomobile via make targets, Java prereq, NDK env vars) - Corrected Android NDK version (23.x -> 27.0.12077973) and CMake version (3.18.1 -> 3.22.1) to match CI - Added ANDROID_NDK_VERSION, ANDROID_CMAKE_VERSION, ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION, and ANDROID_PLATFORM variables to Makefile as the single source of truth for SDK component versions - Added install-android-sdk Makefile target that runs sdkmanager with the correct versions and auto-accepts licenses Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
