This PR changes the Buildkite agent from android to android-staging. This change is not meant to be merged, but rather used to verify that the new AMI ami-0953ca1d949c23a58 works as expected.

Before the Change

---

• Saving Gradle dependency cache...
  • Duration: 0 minutes and 55 seconds
  • Cache Size: 1076.73 MB
• Build Time: 22m 59s

---

• Restoring Gradle dependency cache...
  • Duration: 0 minutes and 22 seconds
  • Cache Size: 1076.73 MB
• Build (Lint): Build Scan -> Network Activity*
  • Files Downloaded: 54
  • Network Requests: 79
  • Time Spent: 5s

(*) Although, note that these numbers might not be very representative because trunk is using a dependency cache that is already outdated (5 days has passed since it was last updated, every Sunday).

Conclusions

As expected, using ./gradlew downloadDependencies androidDependencies is:

1. Simpler, much less configuration and reasoning about which tasks to use.
2. Scalable, no need to add any more tasks to the save-cache.sh script as the project evolves.
3. Producing a bigger cache,
   • Before: 1076.73 MB
   • After: 1563.65 MB
   • Result: + 486.92 MB more data downloaded, which means even less network requests on CI.
4. Slower, both in saving and restoring the cache, which is the only drawable:
   • Save:
     • Before: 0 minutes and 55 seconds
     • After: 1 minutes and 40 seconds
     • Result: + 45 seconds to save the cache.
   • Restore:
     • Before: 0 minutes and 22 seconds
     • After: 0 minutes and 33 seconds
     • Result: + 11 seconds to restore the cache.
