Description

Also, would it be possible to make the build script download lib/android.jar from an official source?
It would be preferable than uploading a mistery jar to the repo.

I agree but a previous file of this one was included this way before and honestly I don't know where I could get this jar directly from the net. Android.jar is extracted to platform path of android sdk when installing it. Maybe adding a copy action to the gradle scripts as the sdk dir is set in the local.properties file?

If this is a dependency, gradle can just load it from the sdk folder. [...]

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Gradle scripts and local.properties, then locate how lib/android.jar is currently included. Check how the local Android SDK path and platform android.jar are exposed to the build. Done means the build uses the local SDK jar without shipping the repository copy, with the relevant build path still working.
