An audio recording of the Mobile TC user group's Android App Dev Panel. Three accomplished Android developers - Dan Syrstad, Robert
Green, and Justin Grammens riffing on the ups and downs of Android development.
1) Fragmentation - What is the impact of multiple OS versions and manufacturers? How do you handle testing of your apps given this?
2) Device speed and capabilities are constrained. What impact does that have on your development?
3) What do you like most about the Android SKD/development framework? What has been the most vexing aspect of the framework?
4) How difficult was it to publish your application? How long does it take to have incremental releases published? 5) What is your impression of the Android app market infrastructure from a developer standpoint? 6) The broader software development community has placed a great emphasis on unit testing and test automation. What was your experience with test automation? Useful tools or techniques? And a final one from an astute audience member - App pricing - are you offering free versions of your apps, and what is your strategy on differentiating free vs. paid apps? What model or models work?
