Details

Currently, there are several places where values should be updated when updating Android SDK, including grade files, config files, android-packages.txt, etc.

Ideally, the download of proper build tools for a specific version should be done automatically, without having to specify a platform or build tools versions .

Also worth mentioning that using preview SDK is even more cumbersome, because the compile SDK version is declared as an Integer in many places, and a preview SDK does not have a number but a String as an identifier ( "VanillaIceCream" for example).

Just linking an example patch of SDK change to illustrate the relevant files.

This would be a nice thing to have, but pretty minor and not related to the monorepo
