Building using local android_tools causes a DexMapper error

[nkoroste]

Description of the problem / feature request:

When attempting to build and android app using a locally build version of android_tools it causes the following error:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.google.devtools.build.android.ziputils.DexMapper

I'm pretty sure it's related to sandboxing and the --override_repository=android_tools= flag. I was following your instructions from a different PR on how to build using locally built tool.

When I manually ran the dexmapper subcommand it passed just fine

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

bazel build //src:bazel-dev //tools/android/runtime_deps:android_tools
mkdir -p /tmp/bazel_android_tools
tar -xzvf bazel-bin/tools/android/runtime_deps/android_tools.tar.gz -C /tmp/bazel_android_tools
./bazelw build --override_repository=android_tools=/tmp/bazel_android_tools //app

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

Replace this line with your answer.

What's the output of bazel info release?

3.4.1

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

More context in #11618

Still hitting this issue with v4.1.0 by the way

Oh I think I figured it out. I can't use /tmp because of:

build:linux --sandbox_tmpfs_path=/tmp 

Needed due to #3236
