Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: Android Studio and Gradle Integration, defect)

Post Bug 1108782 and Bug 1204260, we have a bunch of fixed Android version pins for the target SDK, AAR dependencies, and the Android build toolchain itself.

These versions are scattered throughout the code base.  This ticket tracks extracting the versions into some central location and consuming this centralized version dictionary throughout the code.

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/common#32
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/build/autoconf/android.m4?offset=0#298
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/configure.in#4090
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/python/mozboot/mozboot/android.py#17

The build.gradle files:
