Android runtimes depends on docker and the dockercross/* docker-images created for cross-compilation. If docker is installed for your current user then building all the runtimes bundled in a zip file is as easy as:
mix package.android.runtime
After this you should have all runtimes in _build/#{arch}-runtime.zip these then will need to be packaged with your mobile app.
For iOS builds are triggered similiary with:
mix package.ios.runtime
Just for reference from https://apilevels.com/, currently we're only supporting ABI >= 23
