Package management for Android C++
By Alex Cohn, presented at Core C++ online meetup, March 2020. The slides can be found at: https://bit.ly/corecppAndroidPM
Android developers have been using native code (mostly C++ and C) since the very beginning, but bundling such libraries in apps has never been painless. Recently, Google has built a new package management system: https://google.github.io/prefab which is fully integrated with other tools that Android developers are familiar with and promises easier lives for both consumers and maintainers of native libraries. In this short talk, I will show an example of using Prefab, what it solves and what it doesn't solve yet.
