The digest of interesting materials for the mobile developer # 117 (August 17-23)
This week we’ve got a big digest - more than 50 materials about virtual reality, about the new Android, which is now marshmallow, about Sailfish OS, about the fight against Google Play and search in the store, about non-standard ways of monetizing applications and 19 metrics about which you may , did not know.
Google, Facebook, Samsung, Valve, HTC, Sony, Microsoft, NASA - all pay close attention to virtuality. We are waiting for Apple's tricky move. I made a fuss here and made a selection of useful materials, I want to contact the developers who already had experience in developing games / software for VR, share my impressions.
The sixth version of our Android OS finally got its official name: Android 6.0 Marshmallow. There were many assumptions about how the new version will be called: Milkshake, Merengue, and M & M's with MilkyWay. In addition, the final version of the Android SDK has been released, supporting all the new features of the Android OS. Today we’ll talk about the name, tools for developers, the most important improvements and what awaits us with the advent of Android 6.0.
Here is another story of an indie developer without a happy ending. I have been an Android bydocoder developer for three years and most of them are illegal on Google Play.
Remained Sailfish OS. Firstly, I liked it more in design (maybe my hidden sympathy for the blur effect played a role). Secondly, they wrote that it is less important than the same Ubuntu Phone. Thirdly, the management philosophy, fourthly ... well, well, okay, I just liked it.
