Some platforms don't support hostfxr but we can use the coreclr/monosgen library directly to initialize the runtime.
Android exports now use the `android` runtime identifier instead of `linux-bionic`, this removes the restrictions we previously had:
- Adds support for all Android architectures (arm32, arm64, x32, and x64), previously only the 64-bit architectures were supported.
- Loads `System.Security.Cryptography.Native.Android` (the .NET library that binds to the Android OS crypto functions).
The existing 'idea.platform.prefix' system-property approach
only worked because of a Android Studio bug that leaks the
system properties from Android Studio into Gradle build:
- https://issuetracker.google.com/201075423
This bug was fixed in Android Studio 2023.3.1 (Jellyfish).
The correct way of identifying builds from Android Studio is to
use the following project property (not system property):
- android.injected.invoked.from.ide
- Update Android gradle plugin version from 7.2.1 to 8.2.0
- Update gradle version from 7.4.2 to 8.2
- Update target SDK from 33 to 34
- Update build tools version from 33.0.2 to 34.0.0
- Update kotlin version from 1.7.0 to 1.9.20
- Update Android fragment version from 1.3.6 to 1.6.2
- Update AndroidX window version from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0
A snapshot version is a version that has not yet been released which allows us to deploy the same transient version incrementally, without requiring projects to upgrade the artifact version they're consuming. Those projects can use the same version to get an updated snapshot version.
These set of changes focus primarily on getting the core logic and overall Godot Editor UI and functionality up and running natively on Android devices.
UI tweaks / cleanup / polish, as well configuration for Android specific functionality / restrictions will be addressed in follow-up PRs iteratively based on feedback.

- update gradle plugins versions
- add formatting rules for AndroidManifest and gradle build files
- cleanup java_godot_lib_jni
Note: logic was mostly moved around and no new logic/functionality was added.
Example: To generate for the `release` build target and for the `armv7`, `arm64v8` and `x86` architectures, run the commands:
```
cd godot
scons -j4 platform=android target=release android_arch=armv7
scons -j4 platform=android target=release android_arch=arm64v8
scons -j4 platform=android target=release android_arch=x86
cd platform/android/java
./gradlew generateGodotTemplates
```
Notes:
- The generated build templates will be located in the `godot/bin` directory (i.e: `android_debug.apk`, `android_release.apk`, `android_source.zip`).
- The gradle command will only generate templates for the target(s) with available native shared libraries. For example, running the commands above will only generate the `android_release.apk` and `android_source.zip` files.
To delete the generated artifacts, the following commands can be used:
```
cd platform/android/java
./gradlew cleanGodotTemplates
```
The application module `app` serves double duties of providing the prebuilt Godot binaries ('android_debug.apk', 'android_release.apk') and the Godot custom build template ('android_source.zip').
