Building Developer Things

[Ankit Kumar @ankit30ec]

Some apps I work on need Developer Options to be disabled while using, which makes sharing APKs a pain.

I think I need to build something for this. 😅

And it’s live! 🚀

Took just about an hour from submission to getting it live on the Play Store.

Retrofit Endpoint Discovery is now available in DEX Insight. 🔎

What should I uncover next? 👀

New feature coming to DeveloperThings:
Retrofit Endpoint Discovery
What else should DEX Insight uncover? 🤔

It’s ready. 🚀

**Retrofit Endpoint Discovery is in playstore review in DEX Insight.**

One more way to see what’s hiding inside an APK.

@PhonePe @PayPal @ZeptoNow @airtelindia @AJIOLife @myntra @_groww Not saying this is necessarily a security issue, Chucker is useful during development.
The interesting question is: why is it still present in the production APK?

[Ankit Kumar @ankit30ec]

@PhonePe @PayPal @ZeptoNow @airtelindia @AJIOLife @myntra @_groww
Do you have Chucker in your production APK?

@JorgeCastilloPr Why spend AI tokens to decompile an APK when you can do it offline?
DEX Explorer in DeveloperThings runs the analysis directly on your Android device.
No cloud. No tokens. No laptop.
APK → DEX → explore.
Your phone is already powerful enough. 📱

Found an interesting one while testing Paytm deep links with Developer Things 👀
paytmgn://paytm.com/textscanner/test opens the Text Scanner Test screen on the production Paytm app.
@Paytm is this an intentional test screen or an exposed deep link? 🤔

Being popular on twitter does not relate to being a great developer. They’re two different things.

For YEARS I've been complaining about #AndroidStudio being slow, consuming too much RAM, making my laptop overheat and fans blow like crazy... Until last weekend. @tsmith told me about JetBrains Projector, and I believe it's the future of #AndroidDev 🔥

Why WhatsApp stopped developing it's Vacation Mode Feature?
I don't want my archived chat to become unarchived every time I receive a message on that chat.

You can make your #KMM project Gradle build file much more concise by specifying a dependency on the multiplatform library just once in the shared source set instead of specifying dependencies on different library variants in all the source sets where it is used. #KotlinTips

If you are using the isBlank() or isEmpty() methods to assign default strings, consider using their ifBlank and ifEmpty counterparts instead. They are designed to make exactly this use-case more concise and to avoid repetition.

🤯 by # of apps supporting #VocalForLocal after #sonamwangchuk boosted #BoycottChina

Loved this app with no explicit permissions, fast speed & great UX🥳

Best part is it just highlights #MadeInIndia apps, rather than promoting uninstalls or negativity🙏
