Recover old theads about XMP toolkit sdk build for Android and iOS

[TankSoo]

Hi, 

The Adobe Support Community had some updates and it seems some old threads were deleted after the update. A couple of months ago I found a useful thread troubleshooting some build issues of XMP toolkit, but it was deleted.

A stackoverflow answer has the link to the thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52879637/whats-the-easiest-way-to-build-adobes-xmp-toolkit-as-a-... 

My question is simple: Is the old thread accessible? Where can I post issues about the XMP toolkits or DNG SDK? Currently there is some issue with the build on Andorid and iOS in our products under development.

In case it helps (while waiting on a reply from Adobe folks?) :

- A few old related threads seem to still show up in the new Adobe forum -- in "Camera Raw" & in "Labs" sections & elsewhere? -- but I'm not sure where/how/if the old XMP & DNG SDK forum content/structure was migrated in the new forum.

I [desperately] tried checking archive.org's wayback machine, too, but couldn't find the particular threads from that stackoverflow link.  Other old threads are accessible if they happened to get a snapshot, e.g.:

- https://web.archive.org/web/20141112125736/https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1290757

- https://web.archive.org/web/20141117150409/https://forums.adobe.com/community/design_development/xmp... (& from here, you can check the timeline along the top of the screen for more/less recent 'captures')

Unfortunately, snapshots seem pretty random.  (Hopefully we just missed something & 2020 will bring news that everything did indeed move sanely & soundly to the new mildly-scrambled community?)

Sorry if that adds to already-complicated sdk stuff.  I'm stuck in xmp/dng/xcode build purgatory right now, too -- Many thanks/sympathies for the stackoverflow link & Happy New Year

Yes a google archieve did help. But I just found out that with the DNG 1.5 released, the readme.txt inside the sdk contains change mentioned in the the old threads. And following the instruxtions, I can now succesfully build XMP toolkit in iOS, Mac and Windwos. However, Android in not included, even though there is a "qAndroid" compile flag to be defined. 

So my question now is: How to build XMP Toolkit for Android device?
