Include debug symbols with Android releases

[louwers]

Include debug symbols with Android releases so developers can symbolicate crash logs, similar to how we are doing for iOS now.

I tried

    buildTypes {
        release {
            ndk {
                debugSymbolLevel 'full'
            }
        }

Doesn't seem to work.

The libraries are built with symbols, then stripped.
I think it's controlled via the CMAKE_INSTALL_DO_STRIP variable. llvm-strip is called based on it.

Cool, thanks for the hint.

You're right, that option is for apps.

Sounds like CMake should include debug symbols when called via Gradle android/ndk#243

I think they are here after a build:

% ls -lh MapLibreAndroid/build/intermediates/library_jni/drawableRelease/jni/arm64-v8a/libmaplibre.so 
-rw-r--r--@ 1 bart  staff   191M Apr 17 15:50 MapLibreAndroid/build/intermediates/library_jni/drawableRelease/jni/arm64-v8a/libmaplibre.so

There is no build/intermediates/cmake directory anymore.

yes, the file size indicates there's contained debug information
