+## Community

+Join the [DroidDeck Discord](https://discord.gg/JRGAvawjsm) for help, nightly builds, and device reports. Bug reports go in its **#bug-reports** forum; attach the session folder from `Download/DroidDeck/` so the logs come with it.

 ## Build
 
 Run `tools/build_local.sh` with Docker, Java 17, the Android SDK/NDK, and `zstd` installed. It builds the ARM64 audio sinks from PulseAudio 13.0 and packages them into the APK at `app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk`. Set `DROIDDECK_PA13_SOURCE_DIR` to an existing PulseAudio 13.0 source directory to skip downloading it. To install the APK on an attached device, run `tools/deploy_local.sh`.
