 # Updating the Embedding Dependencies
 
+The instructions in this README explain how to create a CIPD package that
+contains the build-time dependencies of the Android embedding of the Engine,
+and the dependencies of the in-tree testing framework. The Android embedder is
+shipped to Flutter end-users, but these build-time dependencies are not.
+Therefore, the license script can skip over the destination of the CIPD package
+in an Engine checkout at `src/third_party/android_embedding_dependencies`.
+Even so, the CIPD package should contain a LICENSE file, and the instructions
+below explain how to fetch the license information for the dependencies.
+
 ## Requirements
 
-1. Gradle. If you don't have Gradle installed, you can get it on [https://gradle.org/install/#manually](https://gradle.org/install/#manually).
-2. [Depot tools](http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra-docs/flat/depot_tools/docs/html/depot_tools_tutorial.html#_setting_up).
+1. If you have a flutter/engine checkout, then you should already have
+[Depot tools](http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra-docs/flat/depot_tools/docs/html/depot_tools_tutorial.html#_setting_up) on your path.
+1. You should have a copy of `gradle` in a flutter/engine checkout under
+   `src/third_party/gradle/bin/gradle`.
 
 ## Steps
 
-1. Update tools/androidx/files.json. (This file includes the Maven dependencies used to build Flutter apps).
-2. `cd` into this directory.
-3. Run `./generate.sh`.
+1. Update `src/flutter/tools/androidx/files.json`. (This file includes the Maven
+   dependencies used to build Flutter apps).
+1. `cd` into this directory: `src/flutter/tools/cipd/android_embedding_bundle`.
+1. Run `gradle downloadLicenses`
+1. Run `gradle updateDependencies`
+1. Examine the file `./build/reports/license/license-dependency.xml`. If it
+   contains licenses other than "The Apache License, Version 2.0" or something
+   very similar, STOP. Ask Hixie for adivce on how to proceed.
+1. Copy or move the `lib/` directory to `src/third_party/android_embedding_dependencies/`,
+   overwriting its contents, and ensure the Android build still works.
+1. Run `cipd create --pkg-def cipd.yaml -tag last_updated:"$version_tag"` where
+   `$version_tag` is the output of `date +%Y-%m-%dT%T%z`.
+1. Update the `DEPS` file entry for `android_embedding_dependencies` with the
+   new tag: `last_updated:"$version_tag"`.
