+# This fork depends on a local .aar, but Flutter does not support this well
+# cf https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/28195
+# so building an app with this plugin requires the file to be present at:
+# `<app-root>/android/app/libs/fijkplayer-full-release.aar`
+# The .aar file in the app will take precedence over the one in the plugin itself.
+
+# The reference file is available at:
+# - [git] https://github.com/deckerst/fijkplayer/blob/aves-config/android/libs/fijkplayer-full-release.aar
+# - [local/win] C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\git\fijkplayer-<version>\android\libs\fijkplayer-full-release.aar
