Addressing the cause took several hours, it seemed to be there to address other side-effects. In the end I discovered we had incompatible library versions which weren't reconciled by Gradle unless the extraneous dependency was there. The error was described in https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Resolving-conflicts-between-main-and-test-APK The resolution was to align the version numbers for various Android support libraries to a common value: 25.4.0 for now although there are newer versions so we might want to migrate to the current releases soon. I applied the concepts others use, which is to specify the version once and use it throughout, see https://segunfamisa.com/posts/android-gradle-extra-properties for a concise example. For info on the latest support and testing libraries see https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions.html https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/testing-support-library/release-notes.html We might also want to update our builds to the latest release of Espresso.

Production releases of the app should be built with our companion build repository kiwix-build.
To build this repository alone for development purposes you can simply run the command:
./gradlew build from the root directory of the project or alternatively import the project into Android Studio and build using that.
Kiwix Android can be built on Linux, Windows or Mac.
