The digest of news from the world of mobile development for the last week No. 31 (November 4–10, 2013)
This week Microsoft combined the Windows and Windows Phone application stores and simultaneously lowered the registration price, App Annie connected information from advertising networks to its analytics, we were told how ART will work in Android and how to break iOS applications.

ART is an AOT compiler (Ahead-Of-Time), which converts Java code to "native" during the installation process. That is, the user starts the program already compiled, which significantly speeds up its opening and execution. It is doubly interesting that ART is already built into Android 4.4 KitKat and you can activate it in the developer's menu.
No application is safe! If someone really wants to find vulnerabilities in you, then he will find them. There is no guaranteed way to prevent an attack. But there are great ways to stop crackers.
Since November 6, 2013, a single registration for developers has been implemented for Windows and Windows Phone application stores. The cost of a single registration has become significantly lower. Now all developers with an account in the Windows Phone store can publish applications in the Windows store, and, of course, all developers with an account in the Windows Phone store can publish applications in the Windows Phone store.
