    Weekly Anything Goes Thread - March 05, 2021

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 06:00 AM PST

    Here's your chance to talk about whatever!

    Although if you're thinking about getting feedback on an app, you should wait until tomorrow's App Feedback thread.

    Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed.

    Facing IAB TCF v2.0 errors detected for my android app

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 06:36 AM PST

    Hello, admob shows me :

    IAB TCF v2.0 errors detected We've detected an issue on your IAB TC string on one or more of your sites or apps. These errors may affect your ability to serve ads to European users. A detailed report is available for you on the EU user consent page.

    While downloading TCF report. it shows eroor 1.2 and while

    what is eroor 1.2 as per google :

    Description : 1.2 No consent for Purpose 1 for EEA countries and the UK.

    Suggested action to take :

    Confirm whether the user intentionally disallowed Purpose 1 or if this is due to CMP implementation errors. German publishers should ensure they are setting the PublisherCC and PurposeOneTreatment fields correctly if they are not asking users for consent.

    Looking for experienced Android Developer as tech co-founder motivated to shake up the Pet Industry. Is this the best place to look?

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 05:57 AM PST

    I don't know if this violates Rule 5 as I'm looking for a partner/co-founder, not a typical hire, but I guess we'll see. My background is in marketing, but have spent the last 3 years programming in Swift and have developed the MVP for this product, which is currently in Beta (close friends and family) for iOS. This is my second app launch aiming to hit the iOS market in April/May 2021. I'm looking for an experienced Android developer as a co-founder that will be able to mimic the technology as a native Android application. I am located in Ontario, Canada, but not opposed to partnering with a U.S. co-founder. The working website for this app is the name: Boop with .AI at the end...

    Revoke permissions programatically

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 03:16 AM PST

    Is there a way to programatically revoke an app's permissions?

    I am doing a project on Android security and for me it would be useful if I could reset the state of the app and revoke normal or signature level permissions.

    Did anyone else feel like this while learning how to code?

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 01:46 AM PST

    Hey there! My name is Mike and I've been making apps for a few years now. I am making this post because I want to get your opinion on something, so I can check whether your experience with programming is similar with mine. Here's some context:
    I am now working as a full time developer. A few days ago, I randomly thought back to the days where I first started coding.

    Interestingly enough, one of the emotions I remember most vividly from back then was feeling very, very confused. All the resources I needed to be able to become a great developer were there for free - the internet had my back on that. But there was a problem - there was so much information out there that it was hard to know where to start. Everytime I tried to learn something new, it felt like a gamble - will I learn something new that will completely change the way I write code, or will I hit a wall and be stuck for 2 months, spinning in circles, getting nothing done?

    And then I realized - in the 2 years I've been working as a full time dev, I learned more than in 6 years fooling around by myself. Why was that? The answer was pretty simple - I was surrounded by people who have already been there before. But, the fascinating thing is the following: these people never once took my keyboard and started typing away when I asked them for help with a bug. They didn't go to the closest whiteboard and hold a 45 minute seminar whenever I was confused by some obscure design pattern. They simply told me - "oh.. why don't you look X up on Google", or "check out this class, it does something similar to what you need". And that was it; they just told me where to look, and that made all the difference.

    So, this is what I want to get your opinion on. Do you relate to this as a senior developer looking back on your early days? Are you just starting out and feeling overwhelmed? Did you just save the new collague 4 hours of work by telling him where to look in the code?

    I've made a survey to see what your experience looks like. It takes around 2 minutes, here it is:

    Thank you for your time!

    Attack strategy?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2021 03:57 PM PST

    Im about to start developing an app for fun just to sharpen my skills. I do maintenance for a company but I really couldnt build what they have from scratch. I wanted to ask you guys, where do you start? I know what my room architecture is going to look like and my view models and fragments. But i just wanted to know where you guys start? Do you start layout-controller-persistance? Or start with the Room db and work the other way? Any tips appreciated!

    Unable to rename views in Android Studio

    Posted: 04 Mar 2021 02:36 PM PST

    I am unable to rename views from within an XML file in Android Studio 4.1.2, for example, from `leftView1` to `left_view1`. Nothing happens when I type |Shift| + |F6|. Similarly, if I right-click on the id attribute, "Rename" is not an option under "Refactor". Prior to this problem starting, I had been renaming quite a few views and I noticed that in at least one instance the process had not run smoothly, as some of the references to that view had remained under the previous name. I strongly suspect some file has become corrupt, but I don't know which one or how to fix it. I have tried "Clean project", "Build project" and "Invalidate caches/restart" more than once. Also, I am able to rename the whole layout from Project view as well as variables in Java files. It's just the components of XML files that I can't rename.

    EDIT: I realized this only applies to custom view, although not to regular Android views, and if I change the tag from <com.brilliant.android.okos.MatchView> to <TextView>, then I can rename it without a problem. Here's the source code for one of the custom views:

    class Match extends AppCompatTextView {private Movable mMovable;private Slot mSlot;

    public Match(Context context, AttributeSet attributes) {super(context, attributes);}

    void setMovable(Movable movable) {mMovable = movable;}

    Movable getMovable() {return mMovable;}

    void setSlot(Slot slot) {mSlot = slot;}

    Slot getSlot() {return mSlot;}}

    Since it extends TextView, it should be able to do everything a TextView can do, including being renamed.

    Can you update to an app using a bundle/APK that has a different bundle_id

    Posted: 04 Mar 2021 08:37 AM PST

    tl;dr: can you push an update to an app if said update to the app has a different bundle_id?

    The longer version is, I've been working on a project where a client wanted a complete overhaul of an app they already had in the store. Because we didn't want to interrupt the current users of said app we've been building it as a new one. This means different bundle_id and all of that but under the same App Store account. We're getting close to completion and ideally, we'd like to just update the current app with the overhauled one.

    The question now is, is it even possible to do that?

    My gut instinct is no, but :shrug: dealing with the app store is a whole thing. Some things I thought you couldn't do you can, and vice versa. Like it's not the end of the world if it's not, there are still ways to notify current users to download the new app but it would be nice to just be like "Tada, here's a shiny new version of the app you're already using". It has been years since I've done any mobile development or published anything to the app store so I'm not really a lot of help. I've been searching the docs and for every combination of how to phrase the problem I can think of but coming up with notta. No one else has encountered this exact situation soooo here we are.

    Edit: Apparently I don't words good today, Sorry about the title. oof
