Best language to make an app with 3D models in it
Hello everyone. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed these days trying to figure out how to solve my problem. I want to create an app that serves as a productivity application. Therefore, it needs to have a good UI, (so I'm excluding Unity due to its UI limitations), AND the ability to incorporate 3D models. Now, I could write the code natively using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. However, I've learned that SceneKit, the framework used in Swift for 3D models, has not enough community support, an...

Is there any way to auto add/force developers to add migration for room database.
I am developing an application for client. Their requirement was that the app shouldn't crash if in future any developer changed schema. They also want to retain data from some tables always. For Previous apps clients implemented app version code to be version code for the database and added fallbackToDestructiveMigration() . In our case some tables have to be retained. Whats the best possible thing to full fill this case.
What's the general approach you follow to not miss adding migration str...

Merchant account in Georgia (country)
Why doesn't Google support merchant account in Georgia (country)? All countries around Georgia are supported. Is there any way to speed up the process of including a country in support? This makes life very difficult for an indie developer.

Google Play Console Closed - How about freezing the account as a sign of warning?
So google just decided to close my google play console account.. Has anyone else had the same fate lately? I here you can not recover it no matter what its gone...

Examples of organisation document for account verification?
Hi - just embarking down the journey of account verification for my organisational app. Got pretty much everything lined up apart from the ‘organisation/organization document’. There don’t seem to be any specific examples of what this means on Google’s help pages and YouTube videos on the subject mention examples of US documents. Has anyone in the UK got any examples of documents they used that I could use? Thanks!...

Re-implementation of Android app - use same or different id?
Our v1 app has been re-implemented (v2) with modern architecture and libs, etc, but with mostly the same features as v1, with some technical improvements/bugs solved. We would like to release it in Play as a new app (different id), so users can choose between the old (stable) and the new one (which may eventually break). Also, the backend for v1 is different from v2.
The app is a very niche business app and those who use it depend on the app for their daily workflow, so it would be risky to hav...

Help Needed!
Hey everyone,
I'm currently working on an Android Kotlin Jetpack Compose project and I'm trying to implement a custom crash dialog and error collector. What I'm aiming for is when the app crashes, a custom dialog should appear, explaining to the user that something went wrong. It should provide an option to send a report, containing the error details (similar to what you see in the Logcat when connected to Android Studio via USB debugging). Additionally, there should be an option to cancel and...

Anyone offloading Android emulators to Raspberry Pis or other cheap hardware?
Between Android Studio, Gradle, the browser, and some bloated electron stuff my old M1 Mac is struggling to juggle it all.
Of course we use our phones, but sometimes plugging them in all the time degrades the batteries and wears the usb ports.

Flashed ROM now I can't bank
I'm wondering if anyone in this community has any ideas for me. I've done something a bit stupid and unlocked the bootloader & flashed a custom ROM to my phone without thinking of my app needs. Certain apps now won't run because they detect I'm using a modified OS and they don't like it (for example my banking app)
