Description

skip checkup initializes a fresh Skip app project and runs its build.

But, if we're running a checkup, then it's probably because we're unsure whether we can run any Android build.

skip checkup should generate a very basic Android project with no Skip in it at all, and verify that it builds without error. If that fails, there's no point in running a full-blown Skip project.

Failure in that step would narrow down the scope of the problem to just the user's Android SDK.

Research direction

Start at the skip checkup command and trace how it currently creates and builds the fresh Skip app. Make done mean that a minimal Android project with no Skip dependency builds successfully before the full Skip checkup runs, and that a failure identifies the Android SDK as the likely scope.
