Hello, I am a student, and I am trying to build the deltachat-android app on my emulator for testing and improvement purposes. However, when I build the app on the emulator, it crashes immediately with the following error:

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thank you!

seems you did not build the “rust core”, probably because the development environment was not set up completely and eg. ./scripts/ndk-make.sh was not executed successfully.

you have to follow all steps described in the README accordingly and exactly - “Build using Nix” seems to be the simplest one currently.
