The digest of interesting materials for the mobile developer # 288 (February 24 - March 3)

In the new digest we deal with clamshells and write applications in assembly language, practice functional Swift and make bionic vision, develop on Flutter and improve UX, and explore the best games and applications. Welcome!

Folding smartphones: what about apps?

Will there be difficulties with existing Android applications on “clamshells”? What to prepare for those users who decide to buy an expensive device? And what needs to be done by the developer so that these users are satisfied? How to test your application if you don’t have a device for $ 2000 at hand?

This story is about a non-standard approach to the development of Android applications. It’s one thing to install Android Studio and write “Hello, World” in Java or Kotlin. But I will show how the same task can be performed differently.
