+Note: `android-components` and `fenix` require modified `geckoview` and +`android-components` artifacts to compile successfully. In order to generate the +necessary dependencies for them you need to point to the respective +`android-components` and `fenix` commits our patches are based upon, too, first. +That way the code as Mozilla is shipping it is used for the Gradle dependencies +fetching which should avoid issues caused by broken builds (it is not guaranteed +that all the dependencies are already fetched at the point when the build +breaks). For `fenix` dependencies there is still a manual processing required +afterwards right now as e.g. our tor-android-service related artifacts are not +picked up. + For the firefox project, comment out the following line in the project's build file:
