Building
--------

To create a debug apk, run `./gradlew assembleDevDebug`. This requires at least Android Lollipop on your development device. If you don't have Lollipop, you can alternatively use `./gradlew assembleRelDebug`. However, this results in considerably slower incremental builds

To create a release apk, run `./gradlew assembleRelRelease`.
