Building Android apps across MENA, Africa, or Türkiye? This session focuses on something we all deal with: - Making apps run smoothly on constrained hardware

MENA is getting real attention from the @AndroidDev team 🥳! Android Office Hours are launching for our region and this one is all about performance on real-world devices. 🧵

A popular social engineering tactic used by anonymous phone scammers is to create a false sense of urgency: "Install this [fake, malicious] app and do X, Y, and Z right now to save your child!" By requiring a 24-hour wait before you can enable the advanced flow, potential victims will have time to think about what it is they're being guided through and potentially ask trusted contacts for guidance.

📣 Sideloading is here to stay. Users will be able to install apps from unverified developers via a new advanced flow, which includes safeguards that stop scammers and maintain choice. Learn more about how Android developer verification is evolving → goo.gle/advance-flow

📢 Important update on sideloading on Android It’s of course here to stay. The team’s been listening carefully to feedback from power users who want a way (apart from ADB) to install apps that don’t go through developer verification. Today, we have more details on the advanced flow that gives you this option. Read the post👇 for more info goo.gle/advance-flow

I did it My first mobile app about to go public So i've been running a closed beta testing for the last 14 days and it's finally time to publish the app for production And today i applied for a production on @GooglePlay Been a really nice journey talking to the users getting feedbacks and improving the app.
