The fine folks who make iA Writer wrote about their challenges supporting Android.
My first impressions:
- I’m glad Google is taking user privacy so seriously.
- …but I didn’t know it was so Kafka-esque for developers to comply with their requirements.
I hear “why would devs ever tolerate Apple’s App Store shenanigans when Android is right there?” Well, because the grass isn’t always greener.
Ideally, both Apple and Google would make it easier for devs. Nothing about this requires either’s processes to be more complicated than they inherently are. As it stands today, both shift a lot of extra effort and compliance guesswork onto developers.
