Documentation about new recipe classes - PyProjectRecipe, MesonRecipe and RustCompiledComponentsRecipe is missing. https://python-for-android.readthedocs.io/en/latest/recipes.html Also users must be informed that they should use PyProjectRecipe by default and why it is important for saving and building wheels.

There seems to be a bad example for postbuild_arch in the recipe documentation. It should call postbuild_arch instead of build_arch: diff --git a: doc/source/recipes.rst b: doc/source/recipes.rst index b6e34319..c5097cb9 100644 --- a: doc/source/recipes.rst +++ b: doc/source/recipes.rst @@ -88,7 +88,7 @@ The actual build process takes place via three core methods:: # Do the main recipe build def postbuild_arch(self, arch): - super().build_arch(arch) + super().postbuild_arch(arch) # Do any clearing up $ git describe --tags --dirty --always v2024.01.21-250-g2f107b15-dirty
