Sure, but you can't always fix the bug if it's not in your system.

  Fork it, you should have ownership of your whole stack. If you have the spare time, you can try and submit your patches upstream; in the meantime, you just maintain your own version.

    No, you can't always do that. We have workarounds for platform bugs that were even fixed, because we get users with old devices that can't upgrade. You cannot fork a phone of a random person on the other side of the world. Once a platform bug is out, it can stay out in the wild for a very long time.

      Deploy your own platform -- if need be built on top of other (unreliable) platforms.

        Our website codebase contains a workaround for a bug in native Android file picker in Samsung One UI. How are you supposed to solve this by "deploying your own platform?"
        • mgaunard 9mo ago
          By decoupling your application logic from your UI toolkit.

            So, when operating system gives you invalid file, it magically becomes valid, because your UI code is in a different file. Sure, that sounds plausible.

              I suggest you read up about encapsulation. Have a good day and happy new year!
