Is that really common?

by g-b-r 2y ago
It probably just caches the list of installed apps, a forced refresh should update it right away

A mess, in my limited experience, so far

Droidify used to be much better because the official F-Droid client had a lot of problems, but now the latter is alright

Yes

That's ONE intent, and not even between two apps... Have you ever had to pipe more than two applications to operate on something (image, video, whatever)? Or actually, more than one , since in your solution one app is am, or your inte

by g-b-r 2y ago
I do know Android development. Intents are only standardized for a few categories, they're slow (you routinely have to wait for the app chooser to load and scroll to the app you want) and not scriptable. And the calling app can very

How can you see it any differently? You need an "app" for everything, they can hardly interact with each other, they can get killed at any time, and without rooting (which is subverting how the system is meant to be used) all sort

They might provide additional avenues, but they remove others, so it's hard to assess what's safer (I'd lean towards F-Droid-like solutions). The best of both worlds is where both the developer and a third party certify the b

Dev-hosted repos are the same as downloading from the developer's site, they offer none of F-Droid's guarantees

God, I hope you carefully check those docs before publishing them
887.

In a very unusual requirement, unless you compile it yourself you're forced to use Chinese-provided binaries. The app has almost root access; it's too juicy an opportunity, I think it's extremely likely to contain some bad st

that's my experience

yeah, they'll send an audio!
890.
by g-b-r 2y ago
Anyhow, using voice is sure often better, but in a call, where you can stop the interlocutor, and ask them clarifications or to get to the point... Audio messages should only be occasional, in my opinion
891.
by g-b-r 2y ago
In my experience it's more the younger people who likes audio messages..

Well, here the app authors as well gain very little, they usually enable it just because they want the maximum "security", and are led to believe that this will help we with that

The verification that the user downloaded the app from the Play Store has hardly anything to do with DRM. They claim its raison d'etre is allowing "better download metrics" and control on the kinds of devices allowed to run t

It doesn't require hardware attestation, to my knowledge

That's a pretty basic service I guess one way to monetize it would be to sell integrations with enterprise products (preferably only the ones which are already not free). You could well make the integrations open source as well, just w

Yeah, absolutely check who wrote a comment before relying on it It's luckily rare for people to add wrong comments, though (and those who do should be publicly fustigated). By the way, please never state something as it were the truth

by g-b-r 2y ago
An outdated comment is at least a very strong signal that the code might be wrong And, you definitely had little experience with under-documented code
