Background
We have precompiled React Native Android binaries which can be used to dramatically speed up native Android builds. Currently we don't use them, and Android AdHoc builds typically take about 45 minutes.
Problem
When we use AdHoc builds to validate solutions to deploy blockers, and they take 45 minutes, it can slow down deploys, which has a compounding effect to slow down future deploys and increases the amount of engineering time it takes to ship releases.
Solution
Consume our precompiled React Native Android binaries in AdHoc builds.
