This approach was intentional. I attempted to convert a new, empty project to use a couple different Robolectric unit test plugins with zero success. My experience left me embittered against plugins for a number of reasons. Third-party modules in Gradle are not easily extensible. If something is broken, pretty much the only real solution that’s not a hack is to patch the plugin and wait for an update.https://mobconverge.com/post/2012-11-03-cross-platform-tutorial/Sat, 03 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000https://mobconverge.com/post/2012-11-03-cross-platform-tutorial/I have created a tutorial on how to write a cross platform iOS/Android app using the C++ and the Android NDK.

This much was easy: creating the project in X-Code, I had access to almost any library I needed by simply adding the appopriate frameworks and header files to my project and building just like I normally would. There were a few bumps and bruises on the journey to Android, however.
