During WPYYC Contributor day, we noted a few hiccups in on boarding:

  1. It seem that an Oracle JDK isn't needed anymore – Android Studio bundles one. We should get rid of that requirement in our setup steps.

  2. We should note warnings that the user can expect to see, such as:

  • Google Login will fail (that's ok!)
  • Gradle may prompt you to update (don't do it – it'll break everything)

We should also note a couple of prerequisites:

  • Supported operating systems
    • macOS, Windows(?), Linux (?)
  • Required storage space to set up an Android dev environment (about 20 GB)
  • You won't be able to test if your environment is a VM

It would also be great to have a list of features that can't be worked on by non-A8C devs.
