Should libcinder .aar files be .gitignore'd?

After rebuilding the cinder java library for audio stuff, I'm noticing the following when doing a git status:

modified:   lib/android/libcinder-debug.aar
modified:   lib/android/libcinder-release.aar

Should these files be added to the .gitignore?

Maybe? My thoughts on this is that they're to be treated as the prebuilt libs that we have to ship with other platforms. The intent is that users do not have to rebuild these files unless there is a need. Ideally the build for Android would be one phase (just CMake) and not two. Lets see where we pan out on this as we get further down the road.

Okay, that makes sense to try to reduce the build steps to one. Question - how feasible is it to run the gradle tasks from cinder's CMakeLists.txt file, or even just the command line (which could then be called from the cmake execute_process() or something)?

I am seeing you can at least run the command from terminal with something like the following from cinder/android/libcinder_java folder:

./gradlew assembleDebug
