Ugh. I messed up the rebase because I forgot the main branch was called develop. 🤦

Hey @Nashatyrev and @ajsutton, do y'all mind giving this a 👀 when you get the chance? If it's not something y'all want, please let me know that too, and I'll close the PR.

Hey @SalvatoreT

Sorry for such long ignorance!

I think this is generally a good refactoring

Though, I tried to build on my box and got the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':examples:android-chatter:compileReleaseKotlin'.
> SDK location not found. Define location with an ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable or by setting the sdk.dir path in your project's local properties file at '/home/ubuntu/jvm-libp2p-slvatore/local.properties'.

Is it an option to skip :examples:android-chatter when android SDK is missing?

If you comment out that project from the settings.gradle, it should stop being a problem.

I'm not sure off the top of my head of another clean solution.

Tried to comment his line but the build still fails for another reason
I think the project should be able to build 'out of the box' without any optional dependencies.
If you were able to modify the build this way (with either commenting android specific stuff or more gracefully with checking android SDK availability) I would finally merge this PR

What was the other reason it failed?

How do you run the examples in this project today?
