Description
I do not have ANDROID_HOME set, and most new users won't have this set. Any time I update settings.gradle.kts to point at my DerivedData folder and then open it in Android Studio to run the app from there (for debugging or Android-specific work), the first attempt fails. There is an error message that tells me to put local.properties into a certain folder within DerivedData. We should do this automatically as part of our build process

Research direction
Start by inspecting settings.gradle.kts and the existing build process, then trace how Android Studio reports the missing local.properties location within DerivedData. Done means the build copies local.properties automatically so an Android Studio launch works without ANDROID_HOME set.
