Summary

We released a new major version for Install missing Android SDK components step. The previous version had strong limitations that caused issues, especially for React Native projects. Now these limitations are gone! Earlier versions relied on file parsing to determine required compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion, but this approach was limited in its ability to handle module dependencies. In the new version, we switched to using Gradle commands to determine or install missing components, allowing Gradle to do the heavy lifting and resulting in a more reliable step.
