Comment:

 I have some good news here. I compared the .apk files boklm and I produced
 during the 8.5a5 build and there are only two differences which should not
 be too hard to fix. I mention them here and will open child bugs for
 actually solving the issues (leaving this one as the parent bug in case we
 find out more problems while testing).

 1) The path to the container gets included via the
 `GRADLE_MAVEN_REPOSITORIES` which results in something like
 "file:///var/tmp/tmp.Flce6AvlTV/gradle-dependencies-3" vs.
 "file:///var/tmp/tmp.AKrQtlURro/gradle-dependencies-3".

 2) There are different keys used in our debug .apks as they are created
 new per build at the moment.
