NDK is not installed, Android artifact creation fails in Azure Pipeline

Question

Ive used the following YAML config:

Gradle

Build your Java project and run tests with Gradle using a Gradle wrapper script.

Add steps that analyze code, save build artifacts, deploy, and more:

https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/pipelines/languages/java

trigger:

• develop

pool:
vmImage: 'macOS-10.14'

steps:

• task: Gradle@2
  inputs:
  workingDirectory: ''
  gradleWrapperFile: 'gradlew'
  gradleOptions: '-Xmx3072m'
  javaHomeOption: 'JDKVersion'
  jdkVersionOption: '1.8'
  jdkArchitectureOption: 'x64'
  publishJUnitResults: false
  testResultsFiles: '**/TEST-*.xml'
  tasks: 'build'

---

I see the issue mentioned below:

Task :app:compileLiasDevReleaseSources
Task :app:lintVitalLiasDevRelease SKIPPED

Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

Task :app:extractLiasDevReleaseNativeSymbolTables FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  Execution failed for task ':app:extractLiasDevReleaseNativeSymbolTables'.

  NDK is not installed

BUILD FAILED
Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.
