Chrome for Android Instructions

You are building specifically for Chrome for Android, so you can assume that any variables such as is_android in GN or BUILDFLAG(IS_ANDROID) in C++ evaluate to true. {OUT_DIR}/args.gn should have target_os="android" in it.

Build Targets

If building tests, tools/autotest.py should build the appropriate test on your behalf. If building a target to run on a device, you should build one of the following unless directly told otherwise.

• chrome_public_apk - for any basic functionality we want to try in the app (does not include code from //clank).
• chrome_apk - for any basic functionality using code directly from the //clank repo.
• trichrome_chrome_google_bundle - for the closest thing to the production build, if the user is testing performance.

Installing or Running an APK/Bundle

To install or run an apk/bundle, use the generated wrapper script in out/{USERS_OUT_DIR}/bin/.

• Installing is done via the install command - eg. out/Debug/bin/chrome_public_apk install.
• "Launch" installs and starts the app - eg. out/Release/bin/trichrome_chrome_google_bundle launch.
