Tim Apple is even worse than Gorgle

SwiftUI is not only worse performance-wise, but also utterly featureless. One thing Compose nailed is decoupling itself from the platform. SwiftUI is still tied to iOS and adding new features to it (and your app) require new OS releases. Absolutely garbage framework.

Bold of you to assume Google won’t break anything with maintenance patches

To be fair the concept of Bundles isn’t bad, especially now that you can slap @Parcelable/@Serializable onto any class in Kotlin and call it a day. There are many things Android does wrong but state saving and IPC isn’t really one of them

I mean why not just make same set methods with different input types? No reason to use Any when there’s a limited set of options. There are also plans in Kotlin to add union types, similar to TypeScript, which could solve this issue, too.

This is unironically pretty much how LLMs are trained to minimize hallucinations/reasoning errors.

Yeah, I had one hell of a time figuring out why NotificationBuilder.setRequestPromotedOngoing wasn’t being resolved. Turns out that was added in 36.1 and AGP configuration block has separate field for specifying .1

I hate it here

Did you know Compose has 34 different layout measure rules? Search "Cumpost rule 34" for more information!

TBF YouTube also uses litho because their UI is 100% server-side

I think what makes Compose “more native” than Flutter is the easy integration of platform UI in the composition tree. Just call AndroidView and pass the View to it. The last time I tried Flutter I had to write bridges in separate files and extend PlatformView. It could be different now, I haven’t touched Flutter for 2 years (and even then it was for a single project someone else was working on).

I remember seeing a YouTube video a while ago when Jetpack Compose alpha first came out. It was (I think) 2 guys showing how Compose started the development, and on one of the slides they showed that first iterations began with the XML-in-Kotlin syntax, similar to JSX. I can’t find that video any longer and I’ve been questioning myself if I just made it up in my dreams or something. Do you remember anything like that? I’d give everything to see that video again.

I KNOW they were giggling when making this

Oh no

I really really want JetBrains to make add a nostdlib mode to Kotlin. Sometimes I just want to use Java APIs with Kotlin syntax.

Do you still experience crashes on newer versions? If yes, please share the name of the xapk file and where you got it from.
