Can’t find cimg/android:2023.10.1-ndk - there are only node and browsers variants.

Just checked and you’re right, the file is there but it didnt get published. I’ll get right on this issue and hopefully have it resolved by EOD.

@yachoor a new cimg version cimg/android:2023.10.2 has now been published to supersede 10.1. This tag has the ndk variant that was missing from 10.1 which can be used by specifying cimg/android:2023.10.2-ndk
