NikGapps - Releases

Hi Everyone, It's been a while! xD We were working on something cool and cool things take time. We've built the first ever Android app that lets you build gapps from your device. If you are seriously interested in testing and shaping NikGapps app and have the ability to flash the zip + provide logcat, respond to this chat and I will share the link to the group (if we have enough people interested) where we can discuss on the feedback, enhancements and bugs. And yes, android 17 support is also added in the app. :P Cheers!
