Missing binaries for 10.12 on Brew

[Manouchehri]

The advice in README.md to run just brew install fb-adb is no longer valid.

Brew can't compile fb-adb right now due to Homebrew/homebrew-core#7325 (which is posted here as #52).

There's no (binary) bottle for 10.12 (Sierra) either. See https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/fb-adb.rb.

Temporary Workaround

@Manouchehri's workaround no longer works due to Homebrew/homebrew-core#11468:

➜  /tmp brew info android-ndk
Error: No available formula with the name "android-ndk"
It was migrated from homebrew/core to caskroom/cask/android-sdk.
You can access it again by running:
  brew tap caskroom/cask
➜  /tmp brew cask info android-ndk
Error: No available Cask for android-ndk

New workaround

Install android-ndk after android-sdk using sdkmanager:

brew cask install android-sdk
sdkmanager android-ndk "platforms;android-19"

You also need these:

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install make python3

Then install fb-adb like this:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/facebook/fb-adb.git
cd fb-adb
./autogen.sh
export ANDROID_SDK=/usr/local/share/android-sdk
export ANDROID_NDK=$ANDROID_SDK/ndk-bundle
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
/usr/local/bin/gmake
sudo cp -a fb-adb /usr/bin
rm -rf /tmp/fb-adb

wonderful!
I follow the steps, and build fb-adb on my mbp, much thanks!

for workaround I needed to change:
sdkmanager android-ndk "platforms;android-19"
to
sdkmanager ndk-bundle "platforms;android-19"

This does not work for me now. Any updates?
