How many times has a backend deployment broken your Android app this year?

Scenario: Backend removes a deprecated field, changes a type
(int → string), or makes something nullable. Their CI passes,
they deploy. Your Android app crashes for users who haven't
updated from Play Store yet.

Vote for how often this has happened in the last 12 months.

Bonus question in comments: What's your current solution?
API versioning? Coordinate deploys? Contract testing? Wing it?

This new "one-time products" workflow is driving me crazy

I'm working on my first major update since the switch from IAPs to one-time products, and I freaking hate it.

Let me start by saying I was a big user of pricing templates. I want my currency conversions for $4.99 to be exactly the same for all my $4.99 in-app products. I don't want to edit/update dozens of products individually! How is that a good thing? So the loss of pricing templates is a blow to me, and I don't see anything in this new setup that adds anything to make up for it.

So th...

How do you handle inconsistent API responses while developing?

I’m working on an app at my company, and lately I’ve been running into something that’s slowing me down. I have three API calls that feed three different sections: Favourites, Nearby, and Recents. The problem is that the API responses feel inconsistent. Sometimes I get all three sections, sometimes only one, sometimes two. And this happens without changing any code in between runs.

It’s entirely possible there’s a bug on my side. But I’ve had similar issues with this server before, so I can’t f...

KmperTrace for Kotlin Multiplatform - tracing-first logging toolkit

# KmperTrace for Kotlin Multiplatform - now available

Repository: https://github.com/mobiletoly/kmpertrace

\- What it is: a tracing-first logging toolkit for Android, iOS, JVM, and Wasm. It emits structured span events and logs you can browse as a tree, so you see causality (who called what, how long it took, and what failed) instead of flat lines.

  \- Why it beats regular logging: spans tie related logs together with trace/span IDs, durations,...

How would you handle abstracting composables?

I am making a library and racking my brain on how to go about a certain problem in the cleanest way, and I'd be curious to see if anyone here has opinions on this.

I have two implementations of an API which also have some analogous UI components that they expose. How would you go about abstracting them so that consumers of the library just use the API and call an abstract function?

A simplified example:

I am implementing two ad frameworks. Both have the idea of banner ads

Need advice on evaluating slow app and activity creation

So, our app has very slow startup times in both Application and Activity onCreate(). It is common on slower devices to see them take 2-3 seconds each to complete. I would like to reduce this, obviously, so I fired up the Perfetto profiler in Android Studio for the first time (side Profiler tab) and ran "Capture System Activities". It produced a nice, colorful chart of everything happening in the application. I can see bindApplication and activityStart are indeed taking around 4 secon...

compose tv focus issue : restore goes to first element on screen

I am building a TV app with a menubar and cards grid. When navigating to the details page and back to the grid view, the focus always returns to the first item in the navbar. I am guessing this is happening since the grid takes time to load and the focus restorer is bouncing it to the nav tabs. I have tried all default options and couldn't get this to work.

Need help regarding the sendBroadcast of ApplicationContext

While developing an app on a device with the barcode scanning HW, I encountered this peculiar issue regarding the sendBroadcast function of ApplicationContext.

So, basically how the barcode scanner works is that there is a foreground service which, with the help of a broadcast receiver,

1. Enables and disables the scanner HW
2. Switch on and off the scan
3. Allows to receive the result of scan via setting up the broadcast receiver on my app

But, for some reason, when I try to send the implici...

HLS 4ms streaming if I don't have a conventional HLS server

HLS streaming has been asked many times but all of the example I can find relies on the HLS server serving the chunks using the manifest file m3u8. The project I am working on is a bit different and I am able to get the m4s chunks from the server via a websocket but there is no m3u8 url to fetch the data from. I was able to feed these files to javascript video source buffer and it would play the video. I couldn't find any example or couldn't figure out how to do it in android if I simply have th...
