I can resonate with this. I worked for a major bank developing their blackberry app. It was amazingly painful to develop on their platform, its a literal mess.
- realusername 7y agoAndroid wasn't that great technically at the time either, I was actively avoiding mobile app development at that time due to how crappy the SDK was, thankfully it's not that bad anymore, Google put a lot of work on Android since then but was Blackberry really worse?
- jayd16 7y agoIt was night and day. Imagine Android dev with worse documentation in Java 5, (somehow!) more fragmentation, less hype so less stack overflow articles but with stricter than Apple submission hoops and no xcode to help you stumble through it.
