Heads up it looks like Sonatype is starting to enforce stricter throttling on Maven Central. If you see 429/403 errors from your runneres, you're not alone. github.com/actions/runn... www.sonatype.com/blog/maven-c...

As I need to support IntelliJ IDEA in a project I work on, I always try to find what is the latest AGP version compatible with IntelliJ IDEA, but it is very difficult to find information about it.

Using the Default Hierarchy Template in KMP? You probably shouldn't 👀 It creates intermediate source sets you might not need — with real build cost. ⚠️ New article on the hidden costs and when to use a custom hierarchy instead 👇 dev.to/rsicarelli/t...

I've upgraded to the last @androidstudio.bsky.social stable version and suddenly started to experience a few issues. The most annoying is the debugger randomly throwing Stack Overflow. If you are experiencing the same, please consider voting for this issue: issuetracker.google.com/issues/45229...

I turned a leak investigation into a post on the Block eng blog to share a method that works well! It's a bit long... I had to show how to encode code knowledge to automate leak investigations, and dig even deeper with YourKit Java Profiler. engineering.block.xyz/blog/the-lea... #AndroidDev

Working on a plugin that provides real-time stability analysis for Jetpack Compose functions in Android Studio.

If you're a senior+ developer and your GitHub looks like this.... I assume you have some mixture of positive work life balance, a spouse and children, and hobbies outside of coding. What I don't assume is anything about your ability to write great software.

Your GitHub history can look like this, and it’s ok. If you know you can do a job, apply. I've met so many great devs that weren't active on GitHub publicly. We need to understand that not everybody prioritizes side projects, for many reasons. And that does not invalidate them for the job, at

Open-sourced my Android-in-VS-Code experiment. A Gradle plugin that generates workspace files for Kotlin LSP. Many things don't work, but some do 😅 github.com/desugar-64/k... #AndroidDev #VSCode

There's no good reason why people distributing apps outside the Play Store should need to provide their personal data to Google. This is just taking Android into the horrible world of dev accounts and notarization that Apple enforces.

I was excited to upgrade a project I work to Kotlin 2.2.0 as it turns when-guards stable and I would be able to remove the annoying warning: "This build uses unsafe internal compiler arguments: --XXLanguage:+WhenGuards" Android Studio: Nope.

AOSP is full of bugs. It's open source, so you can file bugs and provide fixes, right? RIIIIIIIIIIGHT? In 2021 I filed a bug that was introduced in 2018: issuetracker.google.com/issues/18856... And I offered a fix: android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/f... 2022: close, OBSOLETE #AndroidDev

Compose added something wild: PausableComposition lets the runtime start composing UI before it’s needed, split across idle frames, and pause/resume mid way. Really interesting to explore 🧐 https://blog.shreyaspatil.dev/exploring-pausablecomposition-internals-in-jetpack-compose

How good is Compose for Web for a landing page? What about in terms of SEO? My wife wants to build a new website for her UX/UI design portfolio and I decided to code for her. Now I'm wondering if I should use either Compose for Web or Compose HTML... #KotlinMultiplatform #ComposeWeb #Compose

Had a really great week in New York visiting droidcon and meeting lots and lots of Android developers! It's such a wonderful community. I even forgot to post about my talk until just now - if anyone's looking for slides and resources, they're here: zsmb.co/talks/blazin...

If you're heading to Droidcon in NYC this week, so are we! Two members from our Mobile team will be there, so if you see 'Thunderbird' on a name badge, say hi! We're looking forward to learning, making connections, and sharing our progress in the Android email space! #dcnyc25 #Thunderbird #Android

Our May Mobile Progress Report shows how we're: *getting ready for JMAP in iOS * planing early for TestFlight * coordinating localization for both apps * asking for feedback with the Android beta * improving the account drawer and more #Thunderbird #Email blog.thunderbird.net/2025/06/thun...

I wish we had a Droidcon Canada so I could participate 😕 Probably it would be on Nova Scotia, but at least I could join without needing to get a new Visa...

Auto-dubbed videos on YouTube got worse. If I download an auto-dubbed video to watch offline, the original language is unavailable. YouTube doesn’t let you list languages you understand. One day Google will understand that some folks speak more than one language…

You've asked for this... and now Compose 1.9 alpha introduces two new modifiers 👀 Modifier.innerShadow() and Modifier.dropShadow() Allowing you to more closely align your designs to your Figma specs, unlocking fun effects like Neumorphic type UIs 😍 github.com/riggaroo/com...

I recently noticed a weird hike on my GitHub Actions time, with no significant changes in the codebase, dependency upgrade, for example. One of my projects went from 14 min to 50 min with no reasonable explanation. Did GitHub changed something? #AndroidDev #KotlinMultiplatform #GitHub #CI

Using remember everywhere will not save you. If you don’t understand recomposition scopes and how the compiler tracks changes, remember becomes useless clutter. Compose performance starts with understanding how it works.

That small line saved GB of RAM on my poor laptop. If you're working on multiple #Gradle projects, strongly recommend changing the default timeout.

Hello #AndroidDev , I wanted to share my new little weekend project 👋 - a curated list of awesome tools to help make Android development smoother! Check it out here: github.yogeshpaliyal.com/awesome-andr... Hope you find something useful in there! Let me know if you have faves to add. 😊

Pretty sure many Android devs are still around on this platform. Reply saying hi 👋 so everyone can find you. This will help people find a big bunch of colleagues to follow 👏👏 RT this for more reach! 🙏

Hyped to be speaking at #IO25 on how to build more accessible apps with #JetpackCompose 🎉 : classifying components, choosing appropriate semantics, merging and clearing wisely, traversal, inspection & debug tips, accessibility checks in tests & more! 🚀 See ya in May: io.google/2025/explore... 🤩

I'm proud of Gradle Best Practices finally launching. It was a result of many hours of discussions, negotiations, and wordsmithing to bring you the first batch of best practices. It was a deep collaboration between Google, Jetbrains, and Gradle. Enjoy it! blog.gradle.org/gradle-best-... #gradle

Last week I paired on an interesting leak: starting a Compose SharedElement transition would hold on to a dialog and its Compose UI long after it's been dismissed Took us a while to root cause, only to realize the leak was fixed in Compose 1.8 issuetracker.google.com/issues/34703... #AndroidDev
