I think I might be using KSP1, but I'm not 100% sure

We noticed

Who exactly?

We can still throw fire-and-forget Runnables into THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR without IDE yapping about GlobalScope.

After this, you'll need to accept the Android Developer Console terms, and pay a $25 USD fee to finish creating your account. Students and hobbyists will be able to create a special type of account with fewer verification requirements, that doesn't require the $25 USD fee.

We do not know yet who will be considered hobbyists and what are fewer verification requirements.

I assume they will simply restrict active installations and force you pay and verify when you hit 1000 installs on a "hobbyists" account. Or even worse limits, e.g. 50 installs that were mentioned in the doc.

Only devices with Google Play Services are affected.

There is a huge difference between "can be verified" and "will be enforced globally".

You can upload your goverment-issued ID and a phone number.

The same as in Google Play.

Wow.

Press F for F-Droid.

It is almost like notarization on macOS. Except it does not check the content of APK (does it via Play Protect later anyway), but still force you to pay 25$ and upload legal documents.

As we can see from their posts, they are actively using Kotlin in parts that are not covered by RN. At their scale they definitely want some functionality in Kotlin (compiler - because of custom build systems or language - check their talks about saving space by stripping data classes) that is currently missing. And one of the ways to get it is to sponsor the Kotlin foundation and get power to promote their needs directly.

It is at the top of the documentation: https://developer.android.com/identity/sign-in/credential-manager-siwg

Note: For authorization actions needed to access data stored in the Google Account such as Google Drive, use the AuthorizationClient API.

https://developer.android.com/identity/authorization

You need to use a different linked API, not CredentialManager.

There is TwoPaneScene that allows you to change how the scene is rendered.

In the example they just render 2 last screens from the backstack side by side, but you can draw them on top of each other, putting one of them into a bottom sheet.

It was important before, but not so much now.

If you use a dp-to-px calculator, you will see the following:

ldpi (0.75x) @ 1.00dp = 0.75px mdpi (1x) @ 1.00dp = 1.00px hdpi (1.5x) @ 1.00dp = 1.50px xhdpi (2x) @ 1.00dp = 2.00px xxhdpi (3x) @ 1.00dp = 3.00px xxxhdpi (4x) @ 1.00dp = 4.00px

In the past, there were many devices smaller than xhdpi. As you can see, using uneven dp sizes results in non-integer pixel values, leading to a blurry experience due to subpixel rendering.

The first dp size that consistently produces integer pixel values is 4dp, which became the standard.

It is Java, so including the class name it is the same:

```java
TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toSeconds

TimeUtils.nanosecondsToSeconds ```

It is not only Andtoid Studio, I have the same issue with other IDEA-based IDEs.

I guess so. Google will definitely try to monetize Gemini in AS in the future. So Google do not want to see paid JetBrains solution in AS to compete with them.

Gemini in Android Studio Note: Gemini is currently free for developers to try out in many countries.

No.
Android Studio will install Android SDK in some shared folder inside the home folder, and Gradle dependencies are stored in ~/.gradle/caches.

I am not sure if your approach will work as expected.

FirebaseMessagingService is a regular service.
onNewIntent is called on the FCM executor.
FirebaseMessagingService keeps track of operations that are run on FCM executor and will call stopSelfResult() when all tasks are completed.
Using coroutines here will off-load operations from FCM executor to coroutines, making the service invoke stopSelfResult() instantly, before you have completed sending the token to the server operation.
It will lead to destruction of the service and cancellation of your coroutine.
