Native Android support for Bitcoin Core (full node)
There have been other ways to run Bitcoin Core on Android, for example with ABCore 2, but the project has been abandoned since 2019, and in general was just a wrapper for bitcoind rather than an official build for Android. With this release Bitcoin Core is officially supported for Android, and it will make further development and testing much more real!
