NDK r28 RC 2 is now available in the stable channel of the SDK manager (use ndkVersion "28.0.12916984-rc2" in your build.gradle file) and for download from
our website.
NDK r28 is a regular (non-LTS) release. The full release is likely to happen in the next 2-4 weeks, unless any blockers are reported between now and then.
Compared to RC 1, RC 2 includes an updated sysroot to fix a few regressions from r27, a few LLVM fixes, and an update to the minimum version of CMake supported by our toolchain file to 3.10 to suppress warnings when using CMake 3.31 or newer.
