Eligible personal developer accounts need a closed test with at least 12 testers continuously opted in for 14 days before applying for production access.
Plan the testing stage early.

Kotlin's Result type turns error handling into something you model explicitly instead of something that surprises you at runtime. Worth adopting past just try/catch. #Kotlin #AndroidDev #ProgrammingTips #Coding
π Android NDK r30 is here!
Updated LLVM/Clang, improved ARM code generation, compiler & LLDB fixes, and sysroots upgraded to API 37.
"ndkVersion "30.0.16248370""
Dogfooding my own library is allowing me to find new use-cases and gaps resulting in expanding it's capabilities!
This is a short write up on how the streaming support was added and refined later.
Sealed interfaces plus exhaustive when blocks quietly prevent an entire category of bugs before they ever reach a code review. #Kotlin #AndroidDev #ProgrammingTips
Cool, if half of the cloned balls are sent back into the duplicator, an endless loop is created and you can collect infinite points π
I guess I still need to tweak the game rules a bit π€
Compose tip: staggering LazyColumn item animations with a small index-based delay makes list updates feel intentional instead of jarring. #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev #Kotlin #MobileDev
KMP tip: don't let 'shared' become a synonym for 'untested.' Shared code needs the same test discipline as platform-specific code β arguably more, since it touches everything. #KotlinMultiplatform #KMP #AndroidDev #iOSDev
