The previous packaging format for Godot Android plugins consisted of the plugin's `gdap` config file accompanied by binaries defined in the `gdap` file.
This format is now deprecated (starting with Godot 4.2), and instead Godot Android plugins are now packaged as `EditorExportPlugin` plugins.
The `EditorExportPlugin` class has been updated with the following methods to provide the necessary set of functionality:
- `_supports_platform`: returns true if the plugin supports the given platform
- `_get_android_dependencies`: retrieve the set of android dependencies (e.g: `org.godot.example:my-plugin:0.0.0`) provided by the plugin
- `_get_android_dependencies_maven_repos`: retrieve the urls of the maven repos for the provided android dependencies
- `_get_android_libraries`: retrieve the local paths of the android libraries (AAR files) provided by the plugin
- `_get_android_manifest_activity_element_contents`: update the contents of the `<activity>` element in the generated Android manifest
- `_get_android_manifest_application_element_contents`: update the contents of the `<application>` element in the generated Android manifest
- `_get_android_manifest_element_contents`: update the contents of the `<manifest>` element in the generated Android manifest
Allows synchronizing (sub-)resource properties, transform components,
etc. by using subnames.
As an example, `.:transform.x` will only synchronize the `x` component
of the root transform instead of the whole transform.
This can also be used to synchronize a resource own properties, as long
as they are synchronizable (i.e. the property itself is not an Object,
RID, or Callable).
- Use the name, file path and line number of the caller that invokes
`GD.PushError` and `GD.PushWarning` instead of the location in the C++
`runtime_interop.cpp` file.
- Improvements to getting the C# stack trace.
- Use C# type keywords for built-in types in method declarations.
- Remove extra space before each parameter in method declarations.
- Skip one more frame to avoid `NativeInterop.NativeFuncs`.
- Skip methods annotated with the `[StackTraceHidden]` attribute.
- Improvements to `ScriptEditorDebugger` when source is in project.
- Avoid overriding error metadata when the source is inside the
project file.
- Use the source function in the title when the source is inside
the project file.
Users that use these methods would expect the reported location printed
by these methods to correspond to a location in their project source files.
Specifically, they'd expect to see the file path and line number at which
they call these methods, and not the location of the C++ code (which is
always the same). Now, these methods are a lot more useful since users
can know which line in their source code printed the error/warning.
