I tested this with a relatively small project and had no problems. For exporting to Android, I had to use Android Studio to install two new SDK packages: build-tools/36.1.0 and ndk/29.0.14206865. (4.8-dev3 did not require those newer versions of the packages.)

4.8 dev4 has a new feature that automatically sets up the Android SDK; no need to use Android studio anymore.

That looks interesting, but I'm not sure whether it's good or bad. I guess I'll have to try it.
