GD Builder installation and setup guide
Honestly, manual builds are confusing for a lot of people. So, me n my friend thought why not make it easier for everyone.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Make sure you're online while making the first builds, if you're not it will simply do a half baked export and stop or just straight up not even start building.
Android: Build any of them (AAB, APK, or APK Unsigned) once while online. After that, you're good to build all Android exports offline.
Desktop: Build each 1 of them 1 by 1 while being online (Windows ZIP, Windows Auto-Installer, and Linux AppImage) After that, you can export them offline too.
Don't forget if you installed new, Build-Tools or Platforms to always run the setup-android-env bat file. It's only required if you never used that Build-Tools or Platforms. Later on when you switch between them and don't require to rerun the bat file every single time.
