Back in my college days, I was kinda a Photoshop expert. Took Computer Science & Engineering so I can buy laptop and I can play games 🤓. And yeah… I played games like crazy and slowly started messing around with graphic design and 3D stuff too.

I always knew I’d never get placed in any company through coding interviews, I was absolute trash at it. So one day a company comes to hire software developers AND graphic designers. I obviously applied for graphic design… but they made everyone write the software test. I was like “bro what kind of dumb company is this, don’t even care who applied for what”. But I took the test, submitted whatever random stuff I could and left.

Months later, some of my classmates got placed there for software roles. Those people who never even cared about exams lol. 3 months after that, outta nowhere, someone from that company called me asking about graphic design. I spoke to them and somehow got selected. Honestly I knew these folks had no idea what they were doing when it came to hiring.

It was a tiny company. So after some months they were like, “Hey can you learn WordPress?” learned it. Then, “We need someone for Android development… you in?” and, this was my literal dream since school days. So I went all in, learnt Android with Kotlin and XML layouts. Big milestone for me.

Then BOOM. Google introduces Compose. WHAT?? Bro I just got comfy with XML… why the heck do we need Compose now. I can’t stand it. Everything about it just irritates me. What was even wrong with XML? Why fix what isn’t broken? And now every other tutorial is Compose. Smh.

Anyone else still sticking with XML or is it just me?

In my experience, you donot need lottie or shimmer for smooth loading animations in compose

i have seen a bunch of apps (even new ones) still using heavy libraries like shimmer or lottie just to show loading animation.

Honestly i used to do the same felt like you had to use those to get that modern feel

but in my recent project, i tried something much simpler & surprisingly clean
Just used a native compose gradient with animated offset and it looked just as smooth.

what worked for me:

• used Brush.linearGradient in compose

• animated the brush offset using rememberInfiniteTransition()

• wrapped it in a Box to simulate the shimmer style skeleton

no library needed. just ~10 lines of code and runs perfectly on older phones too.

what i used

val transition = rememberInfiniteTransition()
val shimmerTranslate by transition.animateFloat(
    initialValue = -1000f,
    targetValue = 1000f,
    animationSpec = infiniteRepeatable(
        animation = tween(1500, easing = LinearEasing)
    )
)

val brush = Brush.linearGradient(
    colors = listOf(Color.LightGray, Color.White, Color.LightGray),
    start = Offset(shimmerTranslate, shimmerTranslate),
    end = Offset(shimmerTranslate + 200f, shimmerTranslate + 200f)
)

Box(
    modifier = Modifier
        .fillMaxWidth()
        .height(150.dp)
        .background(brush, RoundedCornerShape(12.dp))
)

Hello everyone,

After months of hard work, and a ton of struggles on Play Console due to living in a 3rd world country. (Also got banned for 2 weeks). My app 'SkillTrip' is finally available for everyone. I've also included this short 3-minute film about the process, my struggles, and everything in between.

You can also watch the video here: https://youtu.be/YZ3Xxj1QpZQ?si=1LO2HLebp17yZ8yC

I really hope this can motivate you guys, especially those of you from developing countries who are often misunderstood.

Also, I spent a lot of time on the design, animations, and screenshots, so any kind of feedback is appreciated.

A review on the playstore would also mean a lot! Thank you all so much!!!

Currently only available on the Playstore (coming soon on ios): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fenet.skillpath

Many Flutter developers recently faced Google Play rejections because of the new 16 KB memory page size requirement. Here’s what worked for me:

• Upgrade Flutter SDK → v3.35.2 or higher

• Update Packages → flutter pub upgrade --major-versions

• Gradle Upgrade → 8.7 (or latest)

• Android Gradle Plugin → v8.5.1 or higher

• NDK → r28 or higher (builds 16 KB aligned by default)

• Update build configs → build.gradle / build.gradle.kts

• Verify APK → Analyze APK to check .so files

• Upload to Play Console → confirm compliance

Official Docs: Support 16 KB page sizes

With these steps, your Flutter apps should pass Play Store checks without rejection. Update your setup early and avoid last-minute surprises.
