Google Pay on the iPhone XS had so much jank and UI lag when I last used it a month ago.

  [Flutter Eng. Dir here] I replied above as well. My team has also not been satisfied with the performance of the GPay app on all devices. We've been working with the GPay team since release and made many improvements in both Flutter and the GPay app. I expect there will be an updated GPay app soon, with still more performance improvements in the pipeline.

    Why can't y'all just fix Android development instead of this flutter stuff that will be deprecated and killed off in 2 years because nobody uses it?

    Maybe publish a Flutter showcase app on both appstores? With Apple's store you'll probably have to jump through some hoops to provide some useful functionality, but it should be doable.

The app works fine although as of today it's still tagged Beta in the Google Play store, which may give some people pause. NFC on the other hand is so unreliable as to moot the use of Google Pay, which is unfortunate. I really prefer tap-to-pay over anything else, but not at the expense of making people in line behind me wait as I try various workarounds like toggling NFC. I realize there's nothing you can do about it - my grumbling is more a warning to folks who (like me) may have used it previously on the Pixel 2 and loved it. It's problematic in the Pixel 4. :shrug:

  Wait, is this why my tap to pay mysteriously stopped working in the past few months on my Pixel 4?!

    Maybe? It's been in the press for a while now. https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/10/26/tap-to-pay-issues-with-google-pay-appear-to-be-affecting-phones-from-google-oneplus-and-others/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/10/26/tap-to-pay-issues-w... The work arounds seem to be: 0 - Remove any skins / bumpers / cases from the device. 1 - Lock and unlock the device. 2 - Toggle NFC mode. 3 - Reboot the phone. I've seen some speculation that on the Pixel 4 it could also be due to some flexing in the case. During a two week period where I couldn't find my wallet I spent a lot of time trying to make it work because of Chase's allowing tap-to-authenticate on their ATMs. Out of 100+ tries using those work arounds and several different ATMs (in case that was the issue) it worked once. I ordered a tile for my wallet since I can no longer rely on my Pixel 4 as a replacement credit card.
