Le deploiement de Delphi depose a la racine de res\ une copie a plat de
cinq de ses ressources - ic_launcher_*, splash_* - alors que les vraies
sont dans res\drawable\. Or aapt n'accepte que des DOSSIERS a cette
racine : il refusait le paquet entier, "invalid resource directory name",
une fois par fichier.
On les retire avant l'appel, et rien n'est perdu : ce sont des doublons,
verifies presents dans drawable.
Ne se voyait pas en debogage, ou l'arbre traine depuis longtemps. C'est
la premiere release qui l'a montre, comme le dossier de mise en scene
absent juste avant.

build-apk.ps1 -Release builds the Release configuration and signs with the
user's keystore. Not through Delphi's Provisioning page, for three reasons:
the .dproj is versioned, paclient --apksign puts the password ON THE COMMAND
LINE where any process on the machine reads it, and tooling belongs in the
repository rather than hidden in an IDE setting. apksigner called directly
accepts --ks-pass env:.
The password is asked for with Read-Host -AsSecureString - nothing echoed,
nothing left in console history - handed over through an environment
variable, and removed in a finally even when the script fails.
It prints the certificate it signed with. A release signed by accident with
the debug key installs and runs: nothing tells it apart in use, and one finds
out only when the first update is refused.
It does not install the release. Android refuses a different signature on an
existing package, and uninstalling would wipe the local cache and the
device's settings - a deliberate act, not a script's side effect.
Keystores are gitignored. The debug path is unchanged and still builds.
The caret in an Android TEdit does not land where you touch, which makes a long bearer token impossible to correct - the reason the last FMX screen had to go. A field in the engine inherits the system's text handling (caret, selection, handles, paste) for free.
With no FMX control left, two things became dead weight and are gone: the vendored Dark.style, which had nothing left to style, and Skia - 25 MB carried solely so FMX labels would shape Arabic. The engine does its own shaping; checked on the device, an Arabic filename still reads correctly. The APK drops from 22.0 to 12.7 MB.
Delphi stays the owner of the server settings; the page only edits them and hands them back when a field loses focus, one navigation per changed field rather than one per keystroke.

The launcher icon and the launch screen are different resources. On Android 12+ the theme points windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon at splash_vector, which was Delphi's logo, over a #FFF background - a white flash before a dark app, every single launch.
Same padlock, drawn at 288 units with its content inside the central 192 the system guarantees. splash_background goes slate, in the light variant too since the app has only one theme. For Android 11 and earlier, which have no SplashScreen API and merely paint windowBackground, splash_image_def composes the background and the logo itself.
One source for the vector, copied onto the density and night variants by repack: four identical files in the repo would eventually diverge.

Cyan on slate, the accent the desktop app already uses. Adaptive vectors for
Android 8+ - background covering the full 108 units since the launcher applies
its own mask, foreground kept inside the central 66 that no mask can crop -
plus a monochrome layer for Android 13 themed icons, where the keyhole has to
be a hole in the path rather than a shape in another colour.
PNGs for older launchers come from make-icons.ps1, same drawing, and carry
their own rounded square since nothing masks them.
They are copied over Delphi's in repack-apk.ps1, for the same reason as
libsk4d.so: the Android_LauncherIcon and Android_AdaptiveIcon properties ought
to be enough, and nothing deploys them here.

An Arabic attachment name displayed scrambled. Not a missed setting: FMX's original text engine does not shape complex scripts - no bidirectional reordering, no letter joining. Separating the size from the name limited the damage without removing it. Skia carries HarfBuzz and does the work.
GlobalUseSkia goes before Application.Initialize; the canvas is chosen at init and switching later does not reclaim what is already built. The price is libsk4d.so, 25 MB raw, and an APK from 13 to 22 MB.
Deploy rebuilds library\\lib just before calling aapt, so a hand-placed library disappears. A proper DeployFile entry was tried first - MSBuild ignores it, as it ignores every other one in this project. Hence repack-apk.ps1, which redoes aapt, zipalign and signing on the folder already prepared.
