The issue was caused by PR #36906 which changes prevented the generated shared libraries from being stripped.
Since the change is only needed for development (debugging) purposes, it's commented out by default.
(cherry picked from commit 2f38cfd9ab)
This is the only location in the codebase where it's being used, so no need to make the main lib have a dependency on it.
(cherry picked from commit c591cb8fda)
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').
