Is there any way we could make sure build.sh does it for us?

Could you update the build.sh script to take care of it instead of adding more instructions?
| Open terminal and set two temporary export variables | ||
| * (Make sure they point to your SDK and NDK folders) | ||
| ``` | ||
| export ANDROID_SDK=/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Android/sdk |

Could you keep it as /path/to/android-sdk (and maybe provide a specific example).
Like
$ export ANDROID_SDK=/path/to/android-sdk # /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk
| * (Make sure they point to your SDK and NDK folders) | ||
| ``` | ||
| export ANDROID_SDK=/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Android/sdk | ||
| export ANDROID_NDK=/Users/YOURNAME/Downloads/android-ndk-r13b |

Downloads is not a great path to install a SDK/NDK ;)

| Install Java 6, 8, or 10 | ||

Could you try not being too specific with downloads URLs?
Java version will evolve over time and I'd like to avoid changing these instructions too often.

| * Building with Java 8 or 10 might throw a few warnings during the build, but it will still build | ||

Same here with Android SDK and NDK.

Fyi: #1912 explains the build pipeline on Android that works also in 2021 |
Tested on multiple Macs running High Sierra.
