Determine what version of NDK was used to build library?

Issue

Is there any way to determine what version of the NDK was used to compile an "aar" library? Either decompiling, or via code would be fine, just need to know.

I am trying to determine what version of the ndk one of my third party libraries was built using.

Solution

An "aar" file is not compiled with NDK, you probably mean one of the c++ libraries inside that file. There is no simple way, but you can rule out new ndk versions according to the library date.

Also, you might be able to find out by getting the compiler version - see if something like this can help: How to retrieve the GCC version used to compile a given ELF executable
