The Android Native Development Kit
The Android NDK is Google's official toolset that lets Android app developers include native C/C++ code in their apps, compiled as JNI shared libraries. It supports ndk-build and CMake, and enables use of native APIs like Vulkan, high-performance audio, and neural networks, with documentation on bionic, debugging, and crash analysis.
Why now: Discussed on Hacker News in the context of AOSP source releases falling so far behind that developers disassemble compiled libraries to report bugs, highlighting frustration with Google's native tooling transparency.
Who it is for: Android app developers who need native C/C++ code for performance-critical features like games, graphics, and audio.
