Compile a PAM control's Android Kotlin module into the runtime-loadable DEX for a `.ppmplugin`. Creates a staged Gradle build with the pinned wrapper and `react-android` compile dependency, verifies manifest/module/package alignment and runtime-loading constraints, builds the release AAR, then runs `d8 --min-api 24`. Writes `ppmplugin/staging/android/<PascalName>Plugin.dex` and surfaces actionable Gradle or d8 failures. Requires JDK 17+ and Android SDK Build-Tools 35.0.0; `d8` is located from…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /build-android-binary Turns the extension's Android **source** (`android/.../<Pascal>Module.kt` + `<Pascal>Package.kt`) into the **DEX binary** that the wrap runtime loads at runtime via `DexClassLoader`. This is the heavyweight, toolchain-dependent step of producing a `.ppmplugin`: source code in, a runnable `<Pascal>Plugin.dex` out. > Naming note: this skill runs Gradle's `assembleRelease` task internally. Don't confuse that with [`/assemble-ppmplugin`](../assemble-ppmplugin/SKILL.md), which zips the final bundle — different layers. This skill produces a *binary*; that one produces the *bundle*. > **Cross-platform:** runs on macOS, Linux, **and** Windows — the Android path has no Mac-only step (JDK 17, Gradle, and Android SDK `d8` exist on all three). Every shell command below is given in both bash and PowerShell forms per shared-instructions §5. Read [`shared/ppmplugin-format.md`](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md) §5 — the Android binary requirements this skill enforces. ## What this skill does NOT do - Does not author `manifest.json` (run [`/generate-ppmplugin-manifest`](../generate-ppmplugin-manifest/SKILL.md) first — this skill reads it for cross-checks). …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/build-android-binary@sha256:3a39920d9b3e1715The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.3e1606b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
