godot: Exporting to android now fails with error code 20

@Myran Maybe we could add an --install-export-template <file> command-line argument that installs a TPZ file or Android source ZIP in the right location. This way, the user doesn’t need to know in advance the version identifier to use. This means you’d have to run the Godot headless binary twice in CI environments, but it’s probably not an issue.

@Calinou do you have any updates regarding:

If not, do you have a script that can install the templates correctly that I can run in CI/CD? I did the following which didn’t succeed:

curl -LO ${GODOT_TEMPLATES_URL} && unzip Godot_v${GODOT_VERSION}-stable_export_templates.tpz
mkdir -p "${GODOT_TEMPLATES_DIR}" && mv templates "${GODOT_TEMPLATES_DIR}/${GODOT_VERSION}.stable"

Havent looked at this repo in a while and went digging. Its rough around the edges but it worked AFAIK. At this point the details are very hazy unfortunately…

Building the android export based on custom godot version (3.2 somewhere IIRC) using this script:
