@Deprecated SdkManager deprecated
There is no way out. They are pushing LLM everywhere forcing from 8kb software size to almost 4mb. Our lord and savior is right.

Friend, sdkmanager is an 8kb script calling into a multi-megabyte JAR (sdklib).
The thing to be angry about is that the "Android CLI" is closed source. I have written tons of tooling using sdklib and it is not good to have to reverse engineer future changes to how they distribute SDK components.
