Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android Studio setup described in the issue and tracing how objection invokes the aapt executable. Check whether ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/28.0.3 is detected when aapt is absent from PATH. Done means a default Mac Android Studio installation works without manual PATH changes.

Description

✨enhancement

Default installation of Android Studio (on Mac) is this:

$ pwd
~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/28.0.3
$ file aapt
aapt: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

It will be good if objection can just pick the bin from there, that will make initial setups easier for most users
