@sphh Here's a zipfile of an APK built from this PR branch:
zulip-android8.zip

It should be just like the latest release (v30.0.265), except with the metadata saying it supports Android 8. As discussed in #1898, please try that out, and let us know if it works!

(You'll need to download the file first on your computer and unzip it; GitHub has a 25 MB limit on uploaded files, and wrapping it in zip is the way I got this file under that limit.)

If your phone has an unusual CPU, that file might be unable to be installed in the first place. (That's the APK only for 64-bit ARM devices, which is almost all mobile devices these days.) If so I can post APKs for the other two possible CPU architectures and we can see which one works.

(Again that's in order to fit GitHub's upload-size limit. The APKs we post as releases — where I guess the same limits don't apply — include support for all three architectures.)
