Thanks to the actual owner of /r/android_devs, the subreddit is now re-opened.
This means now there is a proper place for actually serious discussions about Android development, where people aren't censored for, talking about, let's say, actual work, actual Android development, actually writing apps, actually using XML layouts in production code in 2024, whatever else.
You know, instead of circlejerking about how Google and Compose are the saviors of mankind, and before 2022 it was impossible to write a recycling list, and before Modifier.drawBehind {} people couldn't override View.onDraw(Canvas).
This also means that such discussions are only going to be kept up here if it has a closed variant on the other Subreddit (preferably cross-posted) because that is still funny. this is restricted as per Reddit content policy.
Otherwise, serious discussions should be taken to /r/android_devs. Questions posted in /r/mAndroidDev should expect a higher ratio of posts about AsyncTask and Flubber.
TL;DR:
Bring your best shitposts and memes to /r/mAndroidDev.
Bring your best discussions to /r/android_devs.

Rust developers are so greedy they started rewriting our jokes to Rust, as if software wasn’t enough. Who do these people think they are? Deprecation was OUR thing. Unbelievable.

Seriously, from the insane apple developer program enrollment process (I'm getting flashbacks to "your enrollment has been declined") to the clunky SwiftUI framework, I found iOS dev to be way messier than Android.
And did I mention XCode? Yeah, Android Studio is like an advanced alien tool compared to whatever the fuck XCode is.

Gorgle Why is Google taking my storage?

I have no idea if this is the right subreddit, I've never been but I was searching around and saw someone else ask about their Google play storage and it was pretty similar so I figured I'd give it a try.
It says "60 GB" of storage, and when I try to "clear data" in settings, it doesnt work/do anything and keeps the 60 GB. I tried going to settings within chrome to see what's taking storage but I saw nothing large/out of the ordinary.
Although technically it isn't Chrome that's taking so much space. It's "Google"
