Will there be an official build at the emacs production > release? https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid documents the current options. Stable Emacs exists in Termux (a terminal emulator with runtime environment and thousands of packages prefixed inside the private data directory of its Android app), in X and non-X flavors. Emacs30 with full Android touch interface can be got from Po Lu's page at https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs. For the moment the F-Droid package of the latter is significantly behind current development. Maybe F-Droid can be reminded to update their package of the Android port--if not now, then as Emacs 30.1 reaches stable release. ;-)
