The build for android fails on https://github.com/simutrans/simutrans but not on https://github.com/aburch/simutrans .
Who is maintaining the new clone https://github.com/simutrans/simutrans ? I only learned this morning about its existence :D

The simutrans/simutrans built tries to upload to the google play store. But Google does not like Apilevel=30 anymore. However, the code to build our simutrans is based on various downstream libs, which are based on code from Pelya, who is Ukrainian thus did not update that code. So it builds, but the upload is rejected by google.
Since I could not succeed in building it under Windows and the problem is that one has to build ALL libraries (not just SDL2) by hand (which defies for me the concept of a library) I have not embarked on that huge task.
So no Android builds for the play store until we get a proper setup for Android not relying on their part repos (apart from the libraries).

That does not support SDL2 but only OpenGL and thus needs a different backend. Doable though, but for the next three month certainly not be me.
