Sound library fails in Android mode on M4 mac(Tahoe 26.5)

[vsquared]

To reproduce run source code with an imported sound library:
import processing.sound.*;

The following error message is generated on my system (macOS Tahoe 26.5 M4 chip) using Processing 4.5.6 in Android mode:
Build folder: /var/folders/x2/hwxvmv9s6t16_tkw9tgmbp040000gn/T/android785449008688983585sketch Exception in thread "Thread-144" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read the array length because "list" is null at processing.app.Library.wrapFiles(Library.java:429) at processing.app.Library.getApplicationExports(Library.java:439) at processing.mode.android.AndroidBuild.copyImportedLibs(AndroidBuild.java:839) at processing.mode.android.AndroidBuild.createAppModule(AndroidBuild.java:481) at processing.mode.android.AndroidBuild.createProject(AndroidBuild.java:262) at processing.mode.android.AndroidBuild.build(AndroidBuild.java:223) at processing.mode.android.AndroidMode.handleRunDevice(AndroidMode.java:294) at processing.mode.android.AndroidEditor$17.run(AndroidEditor.java:421)

Possible solution: Generate "list" in sound library with an empty array so that it cannot be "null".

There is a sound-android.zip that is available in the assets here:
https://github.com/processing/processing-sound/releases#release-v2.4.0

I recommend keeping a separate sketchbook folder for Android sketches.

The original sound library was installed by Processing's Contribution Manager. Replacing it with a downloaded version from the github site above did not change the outcome; source code still won't run on M4 mac and has the same error message. The sound libraries appear to be identical.
