    Is iOS app development becoming slower compared to Android?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2021 02:21 AM PDT

    Disclaimer: speaking from a perspective of an experienced lead. I am of the opinion that for a newbie, iOS would probably be (much) easier to pick up.

    ​

    However, I have anecdotal first-hand experience in essentially every case that I came across during my 6 year exposure to the mobile dev field. I remember clearly seeing articles around 2015 that iOS typically takes ~20% fewer resources/time across the same-sized teams. However, when teams were highly experienced, If anything I saw the opposite.

    ​

    And lately, the difference is even more pronounced in Android's favor. This is across multiple teams, multiple projects, and multiple different types of apps. Did anyone else notice this?

    ​

    I haven't done iOS for a few years now so I'm not up to date with the latest, though I know a bit about the architecture they tend to use and SwiftUI (which I like same as I like Compose). I have my suspicions - maybe iOS allows for easy and quick start, but has limited customisation options, has a smaller ecosystem of great community libraries and is more restrictive to the developer, and so a highly experienced android developer, when presented with a feature request, immediately recognizes the stack of frameworks, components, libraries to use, even if there are technically many to pick from. And these libraries are usually very powerful at what they do, once you know how to use them.

    ​

    But again, this is just my anecdotal experience. I have not controlled for any variable here (at least as much as I should have).

    I updated my android app dependencies from the legacy version to Google Mobile Ads SDK version 20. In the last two days, I have experienced a spike in revenue (50%) and requests. Has anyone had a similar experience?

    ELI5: Layout Inflation

    Posted: 23 Apr 2021 09:41 AM PDT

    I'm taking the Udacity Kotlin Dev Course and these Google employees are pretty bad at explaining things, probably because it comes easy to them. I'd love to post some ELI5 questions I have along the way if people are willing to give it a shot. Would be a big help for me and I'm sure many others who have trouble reading the documentation. Thanks!

    P.S.- I know how to set it up. Just not sure what exactly it is doing and why it's so important.

    Google Play Developer API - Why linkedPurchaseToken is not found when user perform resubscribe?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2021 11:58 PM PDT

    Google Play Developer API - Why linkedPurchaseToken is not found when user perform resubscribe?

    Hey all,

    When user trying to cancel current subscription, and then re-subscribe again few days later, we are trying to associate the old purchase token, with new purchase token.

    We know this is achievable, by using linkedPurchaseToken, as described in Implementing linkedPurchaseToken correctly to prevent duplicate subscriptions | by Emilie Roberts | Android Developers | Medium

    However, due to unknown reason, we do not get the linkedPurchaseToken during our trial.

    My guess is, maybe I didn't enable Resubscribe feature, in Google Play Console.

    But, there is no way (I don't know why) for me to enable Resubscribe feature in Google Play Console, as shown in attachment

    We already using Billing library 3.0.1, in all our production/ tester APK, for long time ago.

    ​

    I posted a more technical detailed here - android - Google Play Developer API - Why linkedPurchaseToken is not found when user perform resubscribe? - Stack Overflow

    Does anyone know how to get the linkedPurchaseToken, in your Google Play Developer API respond? Thanks.

    RecyclerViews and the Law of Demeter!

    Looking to turn my Jetpack Compose App into a Sample / Tutorial for others

    Posted: 23 Apr 2021 08:34 PM PDT

    I'm interested in breaking down the project I've been working on for others to view in either a tutorial or as a sample app in the upcoming month. Would anyone be interested in helping me distinguish "bad practices" or practices that leave you questioning? I would like to take some time to refactor and fix some of the major issues before then!

    The app is Jetpack Compose focused with MVVM, Firebase Auth, Room, Single-Activity / No Fragments, and recently Hilt. There is also a pre-hilt branch that is up to date
    https://github.com/B-Lidberg/DailyDoc

    - I'm still working on improving the navigation between Login, Splash, and NoteList(main) screens
    - The Detail Screen only displays data currently, I haven't decided on the design/layout yet.

    Any feedback on the code or the app itself is greatly appreciated!

    Accessibility in a Scrollview. Should the accessibility focus force it to scroll down further?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2021 11:05 AM PDT

    Having plenty of debate with my team on the correct behavior. It seems that Talkback doesn't read anything off screen and won't reveal this outside of what's in the visible scroll area. This seems right but I've been unable to find any documentation to back this up.

    Androidtv live-tv app build, Protocol Buffers Files

    Posted: 23 Apr 2021 12:53 PM PDT

    Dear redditors,

    could anyone help me on getting the androidtv live-tv app up and running. I can't build this project. I'm struggeling with tiny errors on Protocol Buffer Files *.proto.my source to clone with git is ''git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/TV" .

    Error:

    Execution failed for task ':common:generateDebugProto'.

    > protoc: stdout: . stderr: tif_commands.proto:39:10: "android.tv.common.compat.internal.OnDevMessage.message" is already defined in file "recording_commands.proto".

    tif_commands.proto:38:9: "android.tv.common.compat.internal.OnDevMessage" is already defined in file "recording_commands.proto".

    tif_commands.proto:33:5: "android.tv.common.compat.internal.OnDevMessage" seems to be defined in "recording_commands.proto", which is not imported by "tif_commands.proto". To use it here, please add the necessary import.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    My imports wont work, PROTOC wont function as it says.

    Help on this topic would be very much appreciated.

    Cheers
