This creates a new benchmark module that is responsible for generating baseline profiles and testing them. As part of this commit a baseline-prof.txt file has been included to speed up launch times with the app in its current state. Later, profile generation can be automated and keep up with the app as it changes.
This decreases our APK size by a few megabytes. Most of the reduction
is from Java libraries that we only use small parts of. Code shrinking
gets rid of all the unused code from these libraries from the APK.
Because I highly value the ability to get stack traces that make
sense, I have specifically disabled obfuscation (automatic renaming
of symbols to short incomprehensible names).
I've only enabled code shrinking for release builds, purely because
I feel like the extra build time (30 seconds on my machine)
would be annoying when you want to make debug builds rapidly.
Unlike with Android 11, there should be no downsides to doing
this, so we might as well get this out of the way early.
The main part of the work was already done in 5a1a642.
This should make C++20 and std::filesystem work. (Not that
we really can use std::filesystem much on Android since
it doesn't work with scoped storage...)
This enables scoped storage for new Dolphin installs on Android 11
and up (along with a few other changes in behavior which unlike
scoped storage are uncontroversial). Existing installs are unaffected.
We have to do this in order to be able to release updates on
Google Play from November 2021 and on.
This reduces the build time for incremental builds from about
2 minutes to about 20 seconds. Most people never run the
unit tests on Android anyway (I'm not aware of anyone other
than me ever having done it).
Just for maintainability. This is a shorter and more standard
solution compared to our current one where the Fragment
persists the Settings and passes it to the Activity.
Since updating to 28 took us so long that Google Play started
requiring updates to target 28 before we actually merged the PR that
made us target 28, I'm trying to get the update to 29 done early.
Setting targetSdkVersion to 28 would normally force scoped storage
on us, which we do not support yet. However, we can easily
avoid this by setting android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true".
There will be no such luxury with targetSdkVersion 30, however...
