I just released a new version with better podcast support. ⬇️ #AndroidDev #kotlin #JetpackCompose play.google.com/store/apps/d…

Google just announced Gemini 4 Argon, and the benchmark jumps in reasoning + tool calling are huge for mobile. Lower latency and tight structured outputs make background agentic workflows on Android much more reliable. 📱⚡️ blog.google/innovation-and-a… #AndroidDev #AI #Gemini4

Any #AndroidDev with #Omarchy on Apple Silicon? DM or reply

The new androidx.a2ui architecture for Jetpack Compose is surprisingly clean: * a2ui-model / engine: Validates JSON payloads & handles agent errors * compose-runtime: Drives state via Snapshot state system * compose-ui: Maps component catalogs (M3 included) to native UI Agents negotiate capabilities via versioned schemas, meaning no arbitrary code execution on device. developer.android.com/develo… #AndroidDev #Kotlin #JetpackCompose

Latest Android Weekly Issue 746 is out! androidweekly.net/issues/iss… #AndroidDev #Kotlin

60Hz gives you ~16.6ms per frame, 120Hz drops that to ~8.3ms. A single main-thread disk read or heavy layout pass during VSYNC-app will trigger dropped frames instantly. Use the Display track in Android Studio Profiler to isolate exact jank causes before your users leave a 1-star review. ⚡️ developer.android.com/studio… #AndroidDev #AppPerformance #Kotlin

I just published a new open-source library, crayfish! 🦞 Compose Multiplatform image cropper for Android, iOS, desktop, and the web. github.com/skydoves/crayfish

Haze 2.0 is here, and it's a big one! 🎉 For Compose Multiplatform: 🫧 Glass with refraction & lighting ⚡ Faster blur 🎛️ Adaptive rendering quality 🎨 Reusable styles 🛠️ Build your own effects chrisbanes.me/posts/haze-2.0…

💻Introducing Googlebook OS, our new platform that combines the best of Android and ChromeOS! Googlebook OS is built on the Android tech stack and is paired with desktop foundations from ChromeOS, and it'll get updates for up to 10 years! Learn more👇 teddit.net/r/Android/comment…

Setting up Ktor in Kotlin Multiplatform just got a lot cleaner. Version 3.6.0 introduces ktor-client-engine-defaults, meaning you can spin up an HttpClient() in common code without manually wiring platform-specific engines every time. Big quality-of-life win for KMP. 🚀 ​🔗 github.com/ktorio/ktor/relea… #KotlinMultiplatform #AndroidDev

AI integrations can get complex fast. In this #KotlinConf talk, David Denton shows how Kotlin helps keep the MCP SDK design simple: composable functions, clear abstractions, in-memory testing, and less framework magic. Watch 👇 kotl.in/7xmpxa

Finally! I hope it also reads .agents/ folder!

Evaluating AI code agents on real multi-file Android tasks is a game changer. Looking at the long-horizon results on Android Bench, agent latency and pass rates for complex app creation show just how far tooling has to go: developer.android.com/bench #AndroidDev #AI

🚨🐰 🐰 🚨 Converting cross-platform bridges to native logic by hand used to take months of technical debt cleanup. The new migration wizard in Android Studio Rabbit 2 🐇 handling RN/Flutter ➡️ #Kotlin code generation simplifies the transition.

📍 The Kotlin roadmap has been recently updated! Our key focus areas: ✨ Language evolution – keeping Kotlin concise and expressive, and prioritizing ergonomics and safety over ceremony. 📱 Kotlin Multiplatform – becoming the foundation for modern cross-platform apps through a solid iOS experience, mature web targets, and reliable IDE tooling. 🧩 Staying agnostic – supporting developers no matter their tools or targets. 📦 The experience of third-party ecosystem authors – simplifying the development and publication process for Kotlin libraries, tools, and frameworks. Explore concrete plans across Language, Compiler, Multiplatform, Tooling, and Ecosystem areas, including Ktor and Exposed, plus roadmap items we’ve completed since February. Explore what's next 👇 kotl.in/w9uvgp

Koin Compiler Plugin 1.2 is out and covers all Koin DSL 👋 Compile-time safety now covers all Koin DSL: single<T>(), singleOf(::T) and single { Foo(get()) }. Nothing to rewrite. Plus cross-module definitions, Ktor install(Koin), Kotlin 2.3.20 to 2.4.20. piped.video/watch?v=bgd7xJFw…

Kotlin 2.4.20 standard library updates drop allEqual and allDistinct (plus their *By selector variants). No more clunky set creations or custom .all {} checks just to verify collection uniqueness. Lazy exception message evaluation in kotlin.test is a nice performance win too. piped.video/UhRfN7fx5rs #Kotlin #AndroidDev #MobileDev

Huge KMP/iOS updates in Kotlin 2.4.20: Swift Export now supports defining interfaces in Kotlin and implementing them via Swift (e.g., Apple CryptoKit), plus exhaustive switch matching on sealed types. Incremental compilation for Native debug builds continues to get faster too. piped.video/UhRfN7fx5rs #KotlinMultiplatform #KMP #iOSDev

We've heard you want better blur support in Compose! The latest #JetpackCompose alpha introduces Progressive Blur for layers - allowing you to apply a non-uniform blur to your content (not backdrop just yet 😉) ! You can apply vertical, horizontal, radial gradients or even a custom blur intensity mask driven by a shader. 🪄 Available for API 33+

Omarchy Quattro has been downloaded more than 300,000 times in the first month of release! Absolutely astounding number. Not sure there's even been a Linux release quite like this before? omarchy.org

Excited to announce Compose HotSwan 2.0.0! 🚀 The future of Compose Hot Reload for Android, iOS, and Desktop. v2 introduces an interpreter engine, allows you to update entire screens in a blink real time, and drives a much faster AI agent feedback loop. hotswan.dev/blog/compose-hot…
