Description
According to OmahaProxy, the latest stable version of the V8 engine for android is 7.8.279.19. To take advantage of the latest ES features and optimisations we should upgrade the NativeScript runtime to this version.
In this version of V8, the minimum required version of the Mac OS SDK has been bumped to 10.14. As a result, XCode 9.4.1 can no longer be used to build the snapshot tools. And since XCode 9.4.1 is the latest version allowing to build 32 bit executables, we ca no longer produce the mksnapshot-arm and mksnapshot-ia32 binaries for Mac OS.
As a consequence in the next version of the android runtime only the corresponding Linux packages will be shipped and Docker will be required on Mac OS if we want to produce snapshots for those platforms.
