i just hate the 20 tester policy, it's really ridiculous, google should have remove this

This is 100% correct. From a background in Android dev, I recently tried XCode and ios development process, love for Android increased many times.

[nicoloagnoletti]

Never heard an iOS dev complain about xCode for something they couldn't do or implement. They just say to the manager it's impossible or apple doesn't want it

[fiskern]

This is why I like working with iOS devs, so I can hear all the faults of XCode and be happy with Android Studio.

My company uses React Native. We've had so many problems that I often wish we had just used Native Android. Something simple like running in debug mode on Android is easy; debug mode on RN is a frustrating mess of either debugging your android code in a browser separate from your IDE, or installing a VS Code plugin, enabling port forwarding through adb, and needing to manually alter some code in npm packages by following stack overflow advice. We've run into a lot of issues like that.

It's definitely nice to be able to write one app that works on both platforms, and having access to all the packages on npm is a huge plus, but it doesn't absolve you of needing to understand Android and I wish we were just building it in Native Android.

Can't agree more! 👍 Keep up the good work.

Another thing is that development requires excellent tutorials. And this is the best channel for that, thank you.

Myself and a Friend decided to build an app recently so I am working in native android and he is working in IOS (we started pre KMM and havent looked at it properly yet). We frequently have discussions around the pros and cons of both and it surprises me how many times Android comes out better. its miles away from perfect but then nothing ever is. The business market will always try and get the shiniest new thing for the cheapest cost but in the end if you want something done properly regardless of moving into new technologies you need the basics first and those basics comes from native development.

[yudelmartinez]

The problem is the current market, low hiring is making people frustrated.

[alix]

any thing comes into my mind these days, then I find a new video of you philpp discussing about that in the best & perfect way! I FUCKING LOVE U MAN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[dennisesto]

Danke dir! Da hast du vollkommen recht. Das bringt einen wieder auf den Boden der Tatsachen.

[juangaldo]

Thanks for your opinion. it's amazing!

I feel confident in native development on Android. I like Android, I know its weaknesses, I see what is happening on other platforms. I'm definitely moving towards trendiness, choosing KMM for myself, because I want to see Android ideology on other platforms

[ronak_kanjaria]

I totally agree with you. Every technology has its downsides. I've never thought of switching to any other technology just because of my love for Android. And now with compose, my love for Android has grown multifold.

[MattCM]

Could you do a video on ANRs "WaitHoldingLocks" its such an under covered topic. I think a lot of devs would appreciate it. You'd also have one the only videos covering it ❤. Keep up the great content.

What I'm noticing is that demmand for Native Android is dimming.... companies are increasingly looking for either one man army (iOS and Android Native) or React/Flutter. But as an Unemployed Android Dev... its been hard to find jobs only for Android.. and when one pops up probably receives thousands of applicants

[kenana]

Great video, thanks for pointing that out.

[Mike-erih]

Over 10 years in native Android world. Not quitting but I'm starting to add iOS into the mix. Going through SwiftUI right now to kick off and then will start porting my main app into iOS world. It's always nice to learn something new and having that skill will surely NOT hurt me in the future. I also wanna verify all the myths about XCode and Apple dev. in general :D

[Name_VS]

What you said in the video made sense. Thankyou Sir.😊
