 I find it easiest to do final builds from the command line.

-== Errors and problems ==
+==== Updating to the latest Android APIs as of Feb 10th, 2025 ====
+If you get errors like "Your build is currently configured to use incompatible Java 21.0.4 and Gradle 7.3.3. Cannot sync the project." you'll need to update things.
+ * Click the "Upgrade to Gradle 8.9 and re-sync" option
+But then you'll probably see:
+A build operation failed.
+    Could not create task ':app:processDebugResources'.
+To fix, edit your build.gradle file and change the part that says:
+<code>
+id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.1' apply false
+id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.1' apply false
+</code>
+to:
+<code>
+id 'com.android.application' version '8.8.0' apply false
+id 'com.android.library' version '8.0.2' apply false
+</code>
+(or whatever the latest versions are, I had to google to find them(
+After clicking "try again" I got a new error of "Minimum supported Gradle version is 8.10.2. Current version is 8.9." and clicked "Change Gradle version in Gradle wrapper to 8.10.2 and re-import project"
+Then I got "Namespace not specified." errors.
+* Edit build.gradle and change targetSdk to 35.  It will ask if you know what you're doing, tell it you do. (lie, in my case)
+At this point, it started to compile but got errors like this:
+C/C++:   Cannot find source file:
+C/C++:     ../../../../../../shared/util/boost/libs/signals/src/connection.cpp
+If you get this, it means your AndroidGradle\app\src\main\cpp\CMakeLists.txt file is asking that boost .cpps be compiled - you need to remove all that, the updated version of boost we used has NO CPP files, just headers.
+(so cut out: ${SHARED}/util/boost/libs/signals/src/connection.cpp ${SHARED}/util/boost/libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp ${SHARED}/util/boost/libs/signals/src/signal_base.cpp
+${SHARED}/util/boost/libs/signals/src/slot.cpp ${SHARED}/util/boost/libs/signals/src/trackable.cpp )
+If you get "Namespace not specified. Specify a namespace in the module's build file"
+Well, yeah, I guess they changed that.  Double click your build.gradle file and it might have an "Open the "Project Structure dialog"" button pop up. I set the SDK and NDK versions to the highest numbers.  I left min-sdk low, as we need that to run on older devices.
+Ok, that didn't fix the namespace error, to fix that, I had to add "namespace 'com.rtsoft.RTAndroidApp'" in the "android {" area, I just put it under the NDK version.  I know, this is all confusing and weird, you could look at RTBareBones's build.gradle file if need be.  For me it now build and played on the Android device fine.
+==== JAVA_HOME missing when running .bat files like BuildAndInstallDebug.bat ====
+To fix this you'll need to know where your java install is and set JAVA_HOME to it.
+Easiest thing is to use Android Studio’s bundled JDK, it’s usually located in a directory similar to:
+C:\Apps\androidstudio\jbr
+(Your path might be different; check your Android Studio settings under File > Project Structure > SDK Location or File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle.)
+Open a Command Prompt and run:
+<code>
+set JAVA_HOME=C:\Apps\androidstudio\jbr
+</code>
+Then you can run the batch files in the same session and it should work.
+Or, to set it permenently:
+Right-click on This PC (or My Computer) and select Properties.
+Click on Advanced system settings.
+In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables....
+Under System variables, click New... (or find JAVA_HOME if it already exists and click Edit...).
+Set the Variable name to JAVA_HOME and the Variable value to your JDK path (e.g., C:\Apps\androidstudio\jbr).
+Click OK to save the changes.
+Optionally, add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to your PATH variable if it isn’t already there.
+Verify the Setup:
+Open a new Command Prompt (to ensure the new environment variables are loaded).
+<code>
+echo %JAVA_HOME%
+</code>
+==== Other Errors and problems ====
   * If you get a weird "clang++: error: no such file or directory" linker error, it's possible your paths are just too long.  Even with the max path Win 11 fix I had this issue with one particularly huge fmod library path, so something to keep in mind.
