I'm following a somewhat unorthodox model to create my apks similar to https://github.com/cnlohr/rawdrawandroid, in which I've scripted the compilation, packaging, signing, zipaligning... etc. which works, but I'm currently not able to hit breakpoints in my src code.

I'm pointing "appSrcRoot" to the correct folder where my source code lives, but I wouldn't call it the "app source tree", and its not where AndroidManifest.xml lives. I am pointing to the "manifestFile" explicitly.

I'm unclear on what exactly the extension requires, do I need to adopt a more conventional file structure?

Current output:

Warning: No source files found. Check the "appSrcRoot" setting in launch.json

Warning: Build is not up-to-date. Source files may not match execution when debugging.
