npm run screenshots # refresh docs/screenshotsnpm run dist also builds the Android app. The first time, it offers to download a JDK and the Android SDK (about 0.5 GB). You accept the SDK licence yourself. The app is signed with your own key (APK_KEYSTORE / APK_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_FILE). Keep it safe: updates only install over an app signed with the same key.
Set ODIN_SYNC_DATA_DIR to run with separate settings.
