Is there some kind of SwiftUI -> Jetpack Compose Cheatsheet?
Hi,
Do you guys know any good(I found some but they're very very basic) tool that compares SwiftUI with Jetpack Compose?
For example I'm trying to figure out an alternative to simple stuff like `.onAppear` and `.onChange` modifiers....

Hi

Will a backup app get rejected
I want to create an app like google photos. The main focus is the the backup and search in your images (like you can search for cats in your photos). I have a cheap way to make a better search in images by using openAI's clip in a combination with a few tricks.
I even have a get rich strategy - Let the user use the search 10 times for free to get them to feel 🤯 and then ask 15$ premium per month to keep using the search options.
I think that this app can really boom, but do I have a chance g...

SplashScreen hypocrisy/inconsistency
Currently the right way and modern way for developing Android apps is Jetpack Compose, right? At least officially.
Anyway, I saw many people here and there frowning upon rolling your own Splash Screen. It doesn't matter if it's implemented using Handler for delay or a coroutine or the holy AsyncTask or you just showing your app icon or some fancy animation or even bootstrapping nearly half of your app architecture and stack and doing some IO in there is just top of it, I see many conside...

Compound View with CollapsingToolbar problem!!!
Hello my dear reader)) I have a question, do somebody created compound view using CollapsingToolbar inside it? Because if I add it like this in my layouts<com.example.core.ui.custom.CustomCollapsableToolbar

Collapsing toolbar doesn't react and freezes in expanded state. But if add it with include tag it works fine:<include layout="@layout/collapsable_toolbar_b2b" />

How do you avoid duplication of common UI state/behavior between screens?
Scenario: I have a multi-screen form where each screen contributes to some form data. I use Jetpack's NavGraph and each screen fetches/mutates the form data using a shared repository, because that seems to be the recommended way.
Each screen has some behavior that I'd like to only have to define once somewhere. For example, when you go back to the previous screen it first asks if you want to discard your current changes in a pop-up dialog. I have one ViewModel per screen, so each VM needs to ha...

Development time - iOS vs. Android
I'm a UX designer for a mobile application with two separate apps and development flows for iOS and Android. My team has 4 developers for each platform.
Since I've joined, I've noticed Android development is lagging behind iOS a lot, like 4 or 5 weeks behind. I'm wondering, is this normal (or acceptable)?
It's not my responsibility to push the team, but I'm growing concerned about delivering key features for the business this year.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the best place ...

How practical are unit tests in Android Development actually?
Those of you who have worked on Android projects with a ton of unit tests vs zero unit tests, how much tangible benefit do you feel you get from them? Being completely honest, how often do they actually catch issues before making it to QA or production, and would you say that's worth the effort it takes to write initially and modify them as your change logic?
My current company has 100% unit test coverage, and plenty of issues still make it to QA and production. I understand that maybe there wo...

Google Play app access for reviewers - my app requires user to provide their own API key
This is my first Google Play app.
My app requires user to provide their own API key (for an LLM).
I could create an API key solely for Google Play reviewers. But I can only see instructions / provisions to give reviewers a user and password, but not specifically for providing them with a single credential such as an API key.
Does anyone have any experience with simlar app and requirements for Google Play app access for reviewers?
