🚀 We’ve added a central navigation system in KMP.
The idea is simple:
Android + iOS → same navigation brain 🧠

KMP manages:
• Back stack
• Navigation decisions
• Results
• Back handling
• Screen cleanup
Android/iOS mainly render what the shared state tells them.

📣Announcing the first preview releases of Swift for Android, enabling you to build Android business logic with the same Swift that you use for Apple platforms. https://t.co/UAR6LO3prQ #Android

@its_sasikanth Yup simple yet very helpful 🎉

Working on an analytics SDK taught me one thing — design your public APIs to be as generic and flexible as possible.
That way, you can refactor or make messy internal changes without breaking anything for users 😅

@amitiitbhu Thanks for sharing this, how did you create this flow ?

[Ankit kumar @Ak_sparrow007]

@imShreyasPatil @JorgeCastilloPr Agree with @imShreyasPatil , it's like if you don't create issues and solve on stack overflow which is one of the sources of AI models to train then how will it learn and improve more right

@_jitinsharma Great read thanks

What happened to Android Arsenal?

• The domain is now for sale. https://t.co/RwsfijXX33
• The old site lives in a GitHub repo + archived Heroku version.

Loss for the community—but also a chance: maybe a revival, fork, or new platform. #AndroidDev #OpenSource

Thoughts?

Just added a simple CI/CD to 16KB Doctor 🎉
It now builds, verifies, & auto-generates HTML reports 🚀
16KB Doctor = a Gradle plugin to diagnose .so libs & keep them under the 16KB limit ⚡

Peek the CI code here 👉 https://t.co/vfV2ioFWjW

More upgrades coming soon!

Recently while working on Gradle tasks, I found this neat trick 🤯

Create a Gradle plugin project in seconds 🚀

$ gradle init --dsl <kotlin|groovy> --type gradle-plugin --project-name skyhigh

Super easy & awesome for building plugins! ⚡
