Some Android shell tests don't build on Apple Silicon CI workers

[fweikert]

Description of the bug:

I'm working on adding M1 Mac Studio Ultra machines to our CI worker pool. These machines come with Android build-tools 31.0.0 since the older versions running on CI so far (28.0.2 and 30.0.3) cannot be installed on M1 machines.

Unfortunately this means that some of our Android shell tests started failing. This is due to 31.0.0 replacing dx with d8, but some of our tests still rely on dx.jar:

ERROR: /Users/buildkite/builds/bk-macstudio-1/bazel/google-bazel-presubmit/src/test/shell/bazel/android/BUILD:86:16: Middleman _middlemen/src_Stest_Sshell_Sbazel_Sandroid_Sproguard_Uintegration_Utest-runfiles failed: missing input file 'external/androidsdk/build-tools/31.0.0/lib/dx.jar', owner: '@androidsdk//:build-tools/31.0.0/lib/dx.jar'

(https://buildkite.com/bazel/google-bazel-presubmit/builds/60433#0183f649-476f-4153-bc42-673a96e5065a)

I've added some "magic" flags suggested by @ahumesky, but without any success:

--define=android_incremental_dexing_tool=d8_dexbuilder
--define=android_dexmerger_tool=d8_dexmerger
--nouse_workers_with_dexbuilder

So far this bug affects at least three tests:

• //src/test/shell/bazel/android:android_integration_test
• //src/test/shell/bazel/android:desugarer_integration_test
• //src/test/shell/bazel/android:proguard_integration_test

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

What is the output of bazel info release?

5.3.2

If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.

Please re-enable the failing tests in Bazel's presubmit.yml and postsubmit.yml file after fixing them!

Looks like https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/190734097#comment23 is related.

@ahumesky @ted-xie Do you have any plan to fix this? I'm trying to make sure all Bazel integration tests work on arm64 mac so that we can deprecate Intel Mac machines in future.

[meteorcloudy]

We are not going to fix those tests since we are moving out android rules from Bazel
