What actually happened

Error Output:

MacBook-Pro bevy-android % RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo apk run --example android
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to read source.properties: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }', ~/.cargo/registry/src/github.202132.xyz-1ecc6299db9ec823/ndk-build-0.4.3/src/ndk.rs:59:14

Additional information

I reconize cargo apk run --example android is looking for source.properties. Which directory should I create the file or where is the URL which explains source.properties?

I'm able to get something started on android, but I get a black screen and nothing happens. It's not complaining of a missing file for me

I get a mixture of issues here.

Using Bevy Vanilla on the latest branch, the android app cant find the native lib and so crashes.

I updated bevy's winit dependencies to v0.26.0, syn to v1.0.86 and ndk-glue to v0.5.0; It builds correctly and the library can be found at runtime. But it is missing some symbols causing a crash at the link stage at androids onCreate.

Winit and ndk-glue using wgpu has worked for me recently and so I think these libraries aren't the issue - I moved to bevy to try speed things up. But I don't have enough experience with the Bevy Engine to give any more helpful information. It may be something at bevy_main.

Hi, I've had the same issue @jbcurtin, you have to add ANDROID_NDK_ROOT to your environnement var, it should looks like $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT\ndk{NDK VERSION}
source.properties should be located here
