-// When we compiling the examples app on Android results in errors
-// indicating that the `stderr` and `stdout` symbols cannot be found; 
-// so we need to force hardcoding them to point to the system symbols.
+// When compiling the examples app on Android, the linker complains that
+// `stdout` and `stderr` symbols cannot be found. The previous workaround
+// referenced `__sF`, but that symbol was removed in NDK 28+.
+// Use POSIX `fdopen()` with the standard file descriptors instead — works
+// across all NDK versions.
