• Android NDK 25b fully supports Apple Silicon 🎉
• Android NDK 25b is the new LTS version, and ATM, is the only one marked as supported by Google.

Here's a summary of the major changes (NDK 23 -- > NDK 25) from Google release notes:

• The GNU Assembler (GAS), has been removed. If you were building with -fno-integrated-as you'll need to remove that flag. See Clang Migration Notes for advice on making assembly compatible with LLVM.
• GDB has been removed. Use LLDB instead. Note that ndk-gdb uses LLDB by default, and Android Studio has only ever supported LLDB.
• Jelly Bean (APIs 16, 17, and 18) is no longer supported. The minimum OS supported by the NDK is KitKat (API level 19).
• Non-Neon devices are no longer supported. A very small number of very old devices do not support Neon so most apps will not notice aside from the performance improvement.
• RenderScript build support has been removed. RenderScript was deprecated in Android 12. If you have not finished migrating your apps away from RenderScript, NDK r23 LTS can be used.
• Includes Android 13 APIs.
• Updated LLVM to clang-r450784d, based on LLVM 14 development.

Everything can happen, but that should not impact any of our recipes (I've been on NDK 25 for a month now).
