no element "ahcsrc" in webrtc Android example

I'm stuck. It's likely because I'm not an Android developer by trade, but I
have been unable to figure out why things appear to build, but the Android
app is unable to find certain GStreamer plugins.

For me, I'm deploying the app to a Google Pixel 3a, Android 10.0, API 29. I
do a fresh pull from the current master of this:
https://github.com/centricular/gstwebrtc-demos. I've created for myself a
build environment in a docker container that seems to (at least, I thought)
work well for generating APKs from this project. When I interactively hop
onto the container and do a "gradle build", the project builds and I get
APKs. But when I deploy the resultant APK to my device and run it, I get an
error saying "Failed to parse launch: no element "ahcsrc"". Most instances
of this I've seen online have to do with a poorly written Android.mk file
in the src/main/jni directory. But I don't know if that's the case here
since it seems to check out.

I suppose the only potential issue is that I'm building this on Windows,
but I'm doing so under a WSL2-based docker container.

To reproduce what I'm doing,

1) do a git pull on the above repository. \
2) build an image using the Dockerfile at the end of this email.
3) Start a container with it. I do the following:

docker run -v d:/repos/gstwebrtc-demos/android:/code -it --name
gstreamer_builder brush/gstreamer_android /bin/bash

4) I then "cd" to /code once I'm in the container and type "gradle build".

The APKs that are built exhibit this issue.

Here is the Dockerfile:
