Usability of this repo on Android?

[mcuelenaere]

How usable is this adapter on the Android platform (eg compared to https://github.com/Kudo/react-native-v8)?
I see that you have inspector support, which sounds hugely useful for debugging/profiling React Native on Android phones.

I'm somewhat confused as the intended target of this project. Is this about Android x86(_64)? Is this targeting Win32?
The build system seems to require a Windows host and the emitted artifacts are DLLs, so I'm guessing the target isn't Android, yet there are plenty of references to Android.

Can you elaborate on this?

I had Android building at some time in the past, but since it wasn't a priority I didn't keep that up. The target of this project is primarily React Native Windows. For Android, you'd need a Linux environment (tried on a Ubuntu VM but it might work on WSL2 now) and PowerShell Core.

It's very likely Windows-only stuff crept into the build scripts since we only test that.

@shivenmian , @mganandraj - this is an old issue, but might be useful revisiting in the context of the recent Android work.

@shivenmian It would be great to bring inspector, napi, tracing etc. to Android .. It will be extremely valuable in future ..
