Installation

Please install ZeroStudio from trusted sources only i.e.

• GitHub Releases
• GitHub Actions

• Download the ZeroStudio APK from the mentioned trusted sources.
• Follow the instructions here to install the build tools.

Limitations

• For working with projects in ZeroStudio, your project must use Android Gradle Plugin v7.2.0 or newer. Projects with older AGP must be migrated to newer versions.
• SDK Manager is already included in Android SDK and is accessible in ZeroStudio via its Terminal. But, you cannot use it to install some tools (like NDK) because those tools are not built for Android.
• No official NDK support because we haven't built the NDK for Android.

The app is still being developed actively. It's in beta stage and may not be stable. if you have any issues using the app, please let us know.
