Just wondering what the plans are regarding upgrading/migrating Kodi to use Android NDK r21?
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...Android.md
Android NDK r21 was mentioned in pull requests #17377 and #17363 but that change was not committed because it was just unrelated to those PRs, or is other changes the in Android NDK r21 reason?
https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Changelog-r21
Android NDK r21 could perhaps be a showstopper before Kodi 19.0 "Matrix" is released now that r20 including r20b is no longer official support by Android/Google?

Android NDK Revision 21 also happens to be Google's first LTS (Long-Term Support) release of the Android Native Development Kit so it will have a higher focus on stability:

The latest stable version is currently Android NDK r21d

While not on their roadmap there are some hints that this Android NDK r21 LTS release could be the last NDK version with official support to build 32-bit apps.
