Nice write-up, and interesting idea. But how did you guys deal with the situation where FCM delivers and displays a notification without waking your app up. In that case, if the user dismisses the notification without opening it, then it wi

The right way to solve this is with explicit permissions (similar to iOS). Rather than arbitrarily and sporadically crippling apps with opaque limitations. Google & manufacturerers have gone too far in the quest for the Holy Grail of ex

These days the app doesn’t run in the background when receiving an FCM push notification (unless it’s already awake). The message is created by a separate Google Play Services process. It’s only when you click the notification does the targ

In practice, I don’t know of anyone offering 0.3% card processing fees. Most POS systems and online payment processors are more like ~2% e.g. Stripe is 1.4% + ~€0.30 to take online payments from within the EU. And chargebacks are passed on

Looks like the repo got deleted. Can't find an arhive.org version either. According to a friend, an article he saw earlier also got pulled. Are Grindr attempting to do some damage control?

AFAIK basically all other democracies function this way - using voting districts - never using direct representation to elect representatives [1]. One similar example of this is the recent German election - I believe AFD had like ~10% of th

Android and iOS don't really have this to the same level actually. Say for example on Android I wanted to include a layout but change the text color of all the items in that layout - I can't just do <include text_color="pu

Actually, using props instead of state is a pretty common thing to do - it's how redux integrates with React [1] [1] https://redux.js.org/docs/basics/UsageWithReact.html

Could you cite some sources for the above claims? Snopes says the increase in reported sexual assaults in Sweden could possibly be to do with the definition of "sexual assault" changing in 2013[0] Regarding the Paedophile ring, I

I'm not so sure about the analogy, but I get your point. I think you're right that transparency is a big problem here. As long as others have perfect knowledge of the situation, they can factor the extra risk into their negotiatio

It seems completely absurd to me that preferred shares exist, and one of the reasons I always hesitate whenever I'm offered equity. For anyone curious, here's a good explaination: https://www.capshare.com/blog&#x2F

The same could be said about any platform - e.g. why can't I write my iOS apps in python? Transpiling languages like that nearly always ends up messy, and adds another layer of potential bugs to the system. Taking the time to learn the

This comment is flaming on Java and Objective-C, seemingly without having the experience to back it up. For instance, nobody uses Objective-C for iOS development any more (see: Swift). And modern Java is a decent language to develop in (wit

Regarding parent poms, you can do something similar in gradle with the top-level build.gradle file. Check out this project for an example of how that works: https://github.com/JakeWharton/butterknife

If you plan on doing that, it might be worth looking into a similar project that uses the XPosed framework to bypass certificate pinning at a low level: https://github.com/iSECPartners/Android-SSL-TrustKiller Although

by GeneralTspoon 10y ago
Seeing as Cert Pinning bypassing doesn't currently work with XPosed on Android versions greater than 4.2.2, I'm not so sure about that. Might require a more in-depth solution.

If you move internally within a country, sure. But when you actually move country, you'll need to get a new sim (or be charged roaming fees). I live in Europe, and I've had 4 different phone numbers in the past 3 years.

It's a Unity app, so `apktool` works well to get out all the assets. Nothing is obfuscated. There's also sample pipboy data file there too (for the demo mode).

This could be interesting. I created fallout4map.com, and if it could automagically track a player's pipboy locations, that would be awesome. I tried decoding the binary data for the pipboy app, but didn't have much success. Perha

If you just need some API client libraries then you can compile most modules separately[1] e.g. Ads, Analytics, GCM, etc. This makes Play Services actually usable without multidexing. [1] https://developers.google.com/andro
