Reproducible Build for release 76 fails

[IzzySoft]

…as it was not built from a clean tree at the tagged commit – and the local changes were never committed it seems. Looking at the differences in the manifest:

     XML ELEM START [lineno=2, name='manifest', #attributes=7]
-      ATTR: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:versionCode=76
-      ATTR: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:versionName='0.34.0'
+      ATTR: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:versionCode=75
+      ATTR: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:versionName='0.31.6'
       ATTR: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:compileSdkVersion=36

at the tagged commit, versionCode is 75. I could not find a commit where version.properties have the 76 your APK has; in the commit history, it went straight to 77. So we cannot cure it at our end I'm afraid, as this was not the only difference; all the native libs differ as well, and classes5.dex differs, too (this one, basically mirroring the manifest diff). So we have to declare this release "RB failed" I'm afraid – and hope that the next release succeeds again. Please take a look at our RB Hints for Developers, especially at the "first basic rule" – to always build from a clean tree at the tagged commit 😉

As it seems we have no chance to cure this, we've no committed the results of the failed RB. Hopefully, the next release will succeed again 🤞

Build system broke and newer one failed significantly - just released 77, hopefully it solves this 🙏

Current release (78) is not RB, all the native libs fail. Diffoscope gave me no clue; can you tell me what path (e.g. /home/sherlock/github/RelaySMS-Android) you build from/in? I could try to match that then (for native libs, this often matters).

Btw, APK size closes up to 40 MB, being over the 30 MB per-app size limit at IzzyOnDroid. Could you provide per-ABI split APKs, so we can switch to e.g. arm64? Afraid that would only save about 6 MB, though (counting the size of the "other" ABIs' native libs).

As the 24h window now closed, we will commit the "RB failed" status for release 78. Hopefully, the next release will be RB again 🤞 Leaving this issue open in case there are questions – or you need a pre-scan before making the release…
