Description
During WPYYC Contributor day, we noted a few hiccups in on boarding:
-
It seem that an Oracle JDK isn't needed anymore – Android Studio bundles one. We should get rid of that requirement in our setup steps.
-
We should note warnings that the user can expect to see, such as:
- Google Login will fail (that's ok!)
- Gradle may prompt you to update (don't do it – it'll break everything)
We should also note a couple of prerequisites:
- Supported operating systems
- macOS, Windows(?), Linux (?)
- Required storage space to set up an Android dev environment (about 20 GB)
- You won't be able to test if your environment is a VM
It would also be great to have a list of features that can't be worked on by non-A8C devs.
