    Android Dev - Suspended App in Play Store

    Android Dev - Suspended App in Play Store


    Suspended App in Play Store

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 02:51 AM PDT

    Me and a friend created an app and published it 3 years ago.

    We had now and then some issues with pictures present in the app, always seemed to be bullshit, but we complied cause.. what to do in front of them..

    Our app has been suspended this week for a picture present in the app since more than 2 years. They review it then and accepted it, but just decided that's it's our fault now if it is here (they also did validated it and let it go through on each update, around 1 per month !).

    We did rated our app PEGI 16 at first to be sure that this kind of things would not happen (https://pegi.info/what-do-the-labels-mean): This rating is applied once the depiction of violence (or sexual activity) reaches a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life. The use of bad language in games with a PEGI 16 rating can be more extreme, while the use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs can also be present.

    The picture striked is that one: https://ibb.co/rwXtnQM

    And the reason is: We don't allow apps that contain or promote sexually explicit content or profanity, including pornography. In general, we don't allow content or services intended to be sexually gratifying.

    I would like opinion of other people about this situation, are we really in the wrong here ? I feel that suspending a PEGI 16 app for this picture inside it is really overkill no ?

    Also, after discussing with them it seems that there is nothing I can do. We need to republish new app (with new app name and package name). Do you know any way to get access to our app back ?

    Appwrite introduces Realtime API to its Open Source Firebase Alternative

    Appwrite Dashboard

    I'm an Appwrite maintainer and we're happy to share that Appwrite 0.10 has just been released and adds support for one of our most requested features.

    Appwrite now comes with platform wide Realtime API that allows you to listen to any server side event. This includes events like user registration, file uploads, document updates, serverless function executions and much more!

    Here's a sneak peak of 0.10

    • A brand new Realtime Server
    • Real time support in our Web, Flutter and Android SDKs
    • New user update endpoints for admins to manage users
    • Authentication with Magic URLs
    • Even Faster Cloud Function executions
    • We've terminated some bugs
    • Not to mention, we're one step closer to becoming a complete Firebase Alternative

    If you haven't heard already, Appwrite is an open-source end-to-end BaaS that helps you build your Web, Flutter and Android apps much faster with a focus on simplicity, developer experience, privacy and security that you can self-host with a single Docker command.

    We'd love to get your feedback as we move on to v1.0 of Appwrite in the coming weeks. Community feedback has been one of the major driving forces for where the project is today.

    You can checkout our Github repo at: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

    Android - Starting custom gradle task after build with Gradle 7

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 07:10 AM PDT

    Using Gradle 7.0.2 with the new Android Gradle Plugin I try to start a copy task wich copies a file in the build folder.

    The script looks something like this

    androidComponents { onVariants(selector().withBuildType("debug"), { def copyTestTask = tasks.register("copyTest", Copy) { from(file('../../local/test.txt')) into(buildDir) } // build.dependsOn copyTestTask // tasks.getByPath(':app:processDebugResources') { // it.dependsOn(copyTestTask) // } }) } 

    The comments are my first tries to add to copy task in my assembleDebug/assembleRelease build. They do not call my copy task :(

    My questions:

    1. What is the correct way to set the dependency to my task?
    2. Which build task should depend on my copy job?

    How to implement Google English to Tamil transliteration (not translation) like this website offline in Android?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 05:15 AM PDT

    Is there a library that you wish to be standardized?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2021 07:29 PM PDT

    I don't know if it's the proper word, but what I mean is an implementation that doesn't have a definite library that is used by the majority of developers e.g. Retrofit and OkHttp for networking, Timber for logging, Mapbox and Google Maps for maps, etc.

    It's frustrating that we still do not have a standard document scanner/rectangle detection library. According to Google, they are working on it to be added on ML Kit. Huawei has a library but it's deeply integrated into their app store for model update. We do have OpenCV but something as easy as Google ML Kit will be really helpful.

    Since I don't have an organization, should I just upload my driver's license again?

    Should I pursue this freelancing opportunity?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2021 06:21 PM PDT

    The owner of a small, established dev company recently contacted me to ask if I'd be interested in a remote freelancing opportunity. He says their only Android dev is on maternity leave. They need help with "reskinning and UI stuff. Some API development too". Sounds simple enough.

    The problem is that I have no professional experience. I worry that I wouldn't have anyone with Android knowledge to bounce questions off of, and nobody even to help me set up my development environment.

    I have years of personal Android experience, including a paid app on the Play Store with several thousand users. But I have some gaps in my knowledge. I haven't yet used a dependency injection framework, and I'm concerned that I wouldn't know what I'm looking at if their projects implement one. I also haven't done much with Git in terms of collaborating with other developers (although I guess there would be none in this case?).

    My suspicion is that this would be a bad first experience for me, particularly doing it remotely and with no mentor in place. What do you think?

    Camera SDK Recommendations

    Posted: 02 Sep 2021 12:39 PM PDT

    Hi All,

    I am looking to develop an app using camera features such as filters, recording video with background audio, and then editing the recorded videos later. I was wondering if there are any good libraries/SDKs, free or paid, that would have all or part of this functionality (mainly for the camera features)?

    Thanks

    Making an Android app based in C?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2021 07:10 PM PDT

    My friend approached me about making a chess app just for practice, with him creating the back end then me using it to create the Android app. He had already worked on most of it in C, so now that I've learned some basics of Android apps, he has finished a fully console-based chess program in C. For context, I can use both C and Java.

    What I'm struggling to figure out is how to actually implement the C code into an app so that the GUI can be based on it (I have created a GUI solely in Java using Swing fwiw). I saw some stuff about CMake, but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of good resources/a concrete guide? Thank you

    Pulling my hair out with WebView problem.

    Posted: 02 Sep 2021 12:10 PM PDT

    Hey Im not here to ask "HEY FIX MY CODE FOR ME" and post my whole project and dead fish something like that Im just hoping someone has some deeper understanding/ideas on what could be going wrong and point me in the right direction because i've tried just about every variation of my question in my google searching and no luck.

    So essentially I have an app that's just a shell for WebView for loading a web app I built for my company. I managed to achieve it no problem on some old tablets we had lying around running Android 5 but the target devices are these smart watches running 7. My problem is when I try running the app on the target devices I get all kinds of nonsensical javascript syntax errors that are definitely NOT syntax errors and page halts execution. What i mean by this is the console will whine cry over some shit like " static _interval = null;" says it doesnt like the assignment operator being used for shocker of all shockers assignment. And the console reflects lists of several of these all over on page load. I thought it was possible there was something wrong where Android 7 WebViews dont support ES6 but that cant be the case as the problem is totally absent on the tablets running Android 5. Another oddity is if you open the page just on the target device's mozilla browser there's no problem. I have tried just about all the settings on the webview to enable dom storage and enable javascript etc but yeah still this crap. Anyone ever encounter anything like this got any ideas? I must be fundamentally wrong somewhere about something. Thanks
