Research direction

Start with MapboxLibraryLoader.kt:19 and CoreInitializer.kt:98, then inspect the application startup call at MyApplication.kt:72. Reproduce the Android startup failure and trace why libmapbox-common.so is unavailable. Done means application initialization completes without the UnsatisfiedLinkError.
