Packaging NativeScript apps

This issue is about how to build NativeScript, in short {N}, apps for F-Droid.
Last updated: 2021-07-13

Done?	Problem	Status/solution
workaround	Building without the {N}-CLI (because it uses a custom Gradle wrapper).	See https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cli/issues/5550.
yes	Avoiding binary blobs from the dependencies in node_modules.	Simply use scandelete.
yes	Every dependency that does not rebuild it's AAR itself will need to be build via srclib.	Cannot be solved. :(
yes	Building the {N} android-runtime from source.	See !8337 (diffs).
workaround	Producing unsigned APKs is not possible by default.	Current workaround: Build android release apk without signing #3444.
