Description

[REQUIRED] Use case description

Using ExoPlayer to support AV1 pre-Android10 using the decoder module requires building from source and manually importing the AV1 aar1. Around 25% of Android devices are still pre-Android10 and don't have built in support for AV1.

Proposed solution

Publish an artifact for the AV1 decoder. I don't think there are any licensing issues with the AV1 decoder (that being part of the point of the AV1 codec as far as I understand).

Alternatives considered

Honestly can't think of any reason not to publish an AV1 decoder artifact.
