FAQ

Why is netty-tcnative-boringssl-static needed? Which version should I use?

It's because this artifact depends on grpc-netty which requires a runtime dependency on netty-tcnative-boringssl-static for it to work. For more details and a table of known working version combinations, see https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/SECURITY.md#netty.
