Hi Salvatore,

Do you need the arm build for x86 build for Android?

Anyway, SDK point of view, this could be big decision.
Release point of view, providing the library requires the verification
effort additionally.

Subject: [dev] Please provide binary releases

Hello,
I just needed to cross-compile Iotivity for Android. I needed a chroot
environment to do that cleanly, and the iotivity root directory ended up
being 22 GB, plus a little more for the chroot environment.

I had to spend hours downloading the right components in the Android SDK,
and the NDK too.

Luckily I have a very fast Internet connection, and if I hadn't, it would
have taken me literally DAYS, to complete this task.

This is is quite a high entry barrier for people who need to get started,
and this seriously harms the reach of the project, IMHO.

Would you consider providing binary releases available on your webpage?

Best regards,
Salvatore
