In preparation for changing engine builds to be unstripped by default https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/52852, which will allow us to make progress towards resolving https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60240. Tricks AGP in to downloading the NDK when building a flutter app (that uses the FGP, which to my knowledge is all ways of building flutter apk/aab/aar). I want to follow this up by modifying the tool to search for the log line that the NDK is missing (making it throw an error in that case) as a safeguard, because that would be the last line of defense before we accidentally build a bloated app. The safeguard won't work for add to app, from what I understand, because while they use the FGP (so they should be forced to be download the NDK) they don't invoke the flutter tool, and therefore won't invoke the custom error handling of [`gradle_errors.dart`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/android/gradle_errors.dart) Some details 1. Respects existing values for `externalNativeBuild.cmake.path` for apps that actually use it. 2. Silences some warnings that would otherwise appear for add to app builds or builds that manually invoke gradle: ``` C/C++: CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt: C/C++: No project() command is present. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must C/C++: contain a literal, direct call to the project() command. Add a line of C/C++: code such as C/C++: project(ProjectName) C/C++: near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required(). C/C++: CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first C/C++: line. C/C++: This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it. C/C++: CMake Warning: C/C++: Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: C/C++: CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS C/C++: CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY C/C++: CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ``` 3. Our ci installs the NDK at an abnormal place that AGP can't find without help. I've modified all the `build.gradle`s that we have checked in to point to the pre-installed path. **But some of our tests make a new app from the templates, and those tests will now start downloading the NDK** (as they won't be able to find it at it's current path from templates). We could resolve this by actually fixing https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/136666. This would be a very significant lift from what I understand - we rely on this hardcoding in a lot of places in our infra.

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
Documentation
For announcements about new releases, follow the flutter-announce@googlegroups.com mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.
Terms of service
The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged
archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers
immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter
tool itself.
This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade
command).
About Flutter
We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.
Beautiful user experiences
We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter's layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you're building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.
Fast results
Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.
Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart platform, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.
Productive development
Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.
Extensible and open model
Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.
Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
