[rahimrahman]

Summary

• fix OOM issue with better catching. See this PR for more explanation
  • now will allocate buffer, but with proper catching instead assuming that the app will run out of memory
  • APNG4Android is npm installable
  • minSdkVersion changed to 21
• removed APNG4Android postinstall since it is causing issues with developers

On minSdkVersion change to 21

A problem occurred configuring project ':gif'.
> [CXX1110] Platform version 16 is unsupported by this NDK. Please change minSdk to at least 21 to avoid undefined behavior. To suppress this error, add android.ndk.suppressMinSdkVersionError=21 to the project's gradle.properties or set android.experimentalProperties["android.ndk.suppressMinSdkVersionError"]=21 in the Gradle build file.

Release Note

[rahimrahman]

@enzowritescode this APNG4Android package is now consumed as a regular npm package. Is there a way to run snyk to see if it will flag as security vulnerability? I want to be 1 step ahead.

Previously, APNG4Android is added after npm install. That works, but is causing some issues among developers.

PR Overview

This PR addresses an OutOfMemoryError issue by improving error catching. The changes involve removing the Git clone step for the APNG4Android repository in the GitHub Actions workflow, indicating a shift in dependency management.

• The removal of the 'ci/clone-APNG4Android' step should be reviewed to ensure that the workflow does not rely on this dependency clone, potentially leading to unexpected issues in the build process.

@enzowritescode I see "security/snyk - 14 security tests have passed", I'm assuming we're actively checking for security vulnerability.

I think I should be good here.
