`pip install` is a relatively common thing for app builds to use in sudo=,
so it should be built into the buildserver. This then builds in the trust
relationship to pypi, since it comes from Debian rather than some random
pip download/install process.
The build command has to use some threading stuff to handle the timeout and
locks. This seems to prevent the command from exiting, unless this hack is
used.
Fastlane/Triple-T app store metadata files must be in UTF-8. Before this
would crash if they were not. This changes the handling to just replace
the non-UTF8 chars with a �. Here's the stacktrace:
CRITICAL: Unknown exception found!

699b3e4c69 got it wrong for targetSdkVersion.
Also, one confusing thing is that aapt outputs "sdkVersion: '3'" for
com.politedroid_3.apk but no "sdkVersion:" for no.min.target.sdk_987.apk.
F-Droid never really supported running on android-1 or android-2, so it
seems pointless to debug support for them.
This prevents the dreaded "Content is not allowed in prolog" errors when
running gradle. C.UTF-8 is a Debian thing that is not supported everywhere
including Java.
fdroid/basebox#9
androguard parses the whole APK before handing the instance back, this uses
the primitives to just find the <application android:debuggable=""> value,
then stop parsing.
#557
Normally, androguard parses the entire APK before it is possible to get any
values from it. This uses androguard primitives to only attempt to parse
the AndroidManifest.xml, then to quit as soon as it gets what it needs.
This greatly speeds up the parsing (1 minute vs 60 minutes).
