Compile a PAM control's Android Kotlin module into the runtime-loadable DEX for a `.ppmplugin`. Creates a staged Gradle build with the pinned wrapper and `react-android` compile dependency, verifies manifest/module/package alignment and runtime-loading constraints, builds the release AAR, then runs `d8 --min-api 24`. Writes `ppmplugin/staging/android/<PascalName>Plugin.dex` and surfaces actionable Gradle or d8 failures. Requires JDK 17+ and Android SDK Build-Tools 35.0.0; `d8` is located from the SDK and system Gradle is optional. Run after /generate-ppmplugin-manifest and before /assemble-ppmplugin.

When to use

• Compile Android Kotlin module to DEX
• Create staged Gradle build
• Verify manifest and module alignment
• Build release AAR
• Run d8 --min-api 24
• Surface Gradle or d8 failures

When not to use

• Author manifest.json
• Zip the .ppmplugin
• Build iOS
• Modify canonical android/ source
