Issue on Running on Android

Details

The information provided by this page is totally outdated.

The last Wiremock compatible version was 2.26.3, released 4 years ago. The information in this page fits with what you would expect from that version.

However, if someone tries to apply it to the Wiremock version 2.35.2 (which is the last from the 2.x branch, so it would be what anyone naturally would try first) is compatible only if your minSdkVersion is 26 or above.

Everything after 3.0 is not compatible with Android due to Jetty transitive dependency, which fails at runtime due to usage of opendk methods not implemented in Android.

Suggested Edits

I would make the information shared in the details more upfront in the documentation page, so it's clear that version 3.x won't work, and the caveats of the latest 2.x version.
