TDLib for Android · Prebuilt

Precompiled TDLib for Android.
Zero NDK. Zero source compile.

The only community-maintained, auto-updated TDLib distribution for Android. All 4 ABIs built by CI — arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, x86 — shipped as AARs. Drop one Gradle line into any Telegram client, bot UI, or MTProto app.

Coverage

Every device. Every emulator. One AAR.

Four ABIs built in parallel on GitHub runners with pinned NDK 27.2.12479018. Fail-fast — a drop in any ABI blocks the release, never a partial set.

Why this exists

Every other option is dead, frozen, or a nightmare to build

  • ✗up9cloud/android-libtdjson — frozen at 1.8.52, needs a GitHub token, raw .so only
  • ✗TGX-Android/tdlib — explicitly not for external use
  • ✗tdlibx/td-ktx — archived 2024, dead
  • ✗Build it yourself — on low-RAM hardware the NDK C++ compile OOMs, crashes, and takes hours
  • ✓tdlib-android — the heavy lifting moved to the cloud. CI compiles all 4 ABIs, wraps them in AARs, releases them automatically.
Automation

Self-updating. Zero-touch. One review.

The upstream watchdog polls TDLib every 6 hours. A version change triggers the whole pipeline. You review one PR, merge, and it publishes.
