Almost four years ago, I asked where Android was at, in this thread
about supporting ARM, and decided to take up the port:

After releasing linux/x64 cross-compilers for the last couple years, I
finally got all my patches upstream and ldc 1.4 is the first official
release to fully support cross-compiling for Android/ARM from linux,
Windows, and hopefully macOS:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.4.0
As noted there, I've written up full instructions on using the official
release to write D apps for Android, employing the simple OpenGLES C/C++
sample apps that used to come with the NDK but ported to D, including
demonstrating calling Java methods through JNI:

If someone can try it out on a mac and either update that wiki page with
the required brew/port steps and any other mac-isms or post them here,
we can make it easier for mac users too.
Next up, 32-bit ARM Android devices are now supported, I'm looking at
getting 64-bit AArch64 Android up and running.
Congratulations, that's terrific news! -- Andrei
