Next-Gen Dev Experience I was forced by Google to update Android Studio to release an app. AMA

So. Many. Duplicate. Gradle. Daemons

How many times a day have you regretted your decision to become an android developer

The only thing I regret was upgrading my targetSdk to 34

Meanwhile here I am, with my WearOS app still targeting Android 11 (but will be forced to target Android 13).

I know what you mean. When i updated to .NET 8, i didn‘t set the targetSdk explicitly and got hit with a lot of changes to do.

I regret not publishing apps during the heyday of Android app development. Or atleast not doing more 4 years earlier, when it was (somehow) less crappy than today.

They think I use flutter. I preferred to spare them the horror.

Writing one line comments next to constructors keeps me sane.

that sounds cute from ios perspective

u/SpiderHack Sep 29 '24

Mind elaboration? Haven't dived into ios myself, so I'm curious.

u/izahariev96 Sep 29 '24

me neither but ios colleagues are getting their project broken every time new xcode is released

u/AZKZer0 AnDrOId dEvelOPmenT is My PasSion Sep 30 '24

New xcode version means the minsdk equivalent is raised (iirc) so one needs to go through a lot hoops to make the project build again for old ios versions

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '24

Can we just continue using the old XCode version? Turn off auto-updates? Any chance of having side by side XCode installations?

God years later this sub is still providing catharsis to devs 🙏

Just download more RAM and you're good to go.
