SDR++ compilable for Android 8?

[jpwichern]

I have a Motorola G5 Plus I'd like to keep on its stock ROM (Android 8.1) because it's got a lot of legacy apps on it I don't want to wipe. Android has had support for OpenGL ES 2.1 since ancient versions so that shouldn't be an issue. On a Moto G X1039 (yes an original Moto G from 2013) I have SDR++ with RTL-SDR running in Lineage OS 16 (custom Android 9 ROM) with only wide FM demodulation being a bit stuttery so I doubt the G5 would lack the CPU power.
Both these phones run RF Analyser with the RTL-SDR driver and Wide FM modulation on without any trouble. However, I'd like to use SDR++ because of its rich feature set compared to what else is out there on Android.

Is there any major hurdle why SDR++ wouldn't be compilable for Android 8(.1)? If there are no obvious hurdles and no-one else is interested to make a version I'd like to attempt to compile the source myself. To give an idea about my capabilities developing and (custom) compiling (SDR) software, I custom compiled GQRX/GNU radio to get smooth wide FM playback (by tweaking the compile options and making a bottlenecking SDR filter less CPU intensive) on a stock clocked RPi3 and I custom compiled the ExtIO plugins for SDRPlay RSP1A to get the device working properly with recent versions of SDRSharp. As a software developer I have plenty of experience writing and debugging C++ code for a variety of platforms, including Android but the last time I worked on an app for the platform was quite a while ago, about 7 years.
