1. There is documentation for building on Android did you test it? https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/master/Documentation/BuildInstructionsLadybird.md#android
2. If you are not able to contribute, this issue will be closed IMHO.

Can you add apk to releases ?

Ok, let's put it this way:

There is documentation for building on Android. Did you test it?

There's no need to test it - it won't work. At the very least, we need to integrate Skia and replace the removed LibArchive to make it functional.

If you are not able to contribute, this issue will be closed, IMHO.

A tracking issue could be helpful to outline what remains to be done and guide newcomers on the current status of the Android build. I'm not arguing it must be this issue though.

Can you add an APK to releases?

They cannot, because:

1. We do not provide releases as we're still in the early pre-alpha stage.
2. The Ladybird master branch is currently not buildable for Android.

It would be more helpful if it was more clearly stated that android isn't currently buildable :/

Fair point. Do you want to open a small PR to add a note about it? Presumably at the top of Documentation/BuildInstructionsLadybird.md#android and Documentation/EditorConfiguration/AndroidStudioConfiguration.md.
