It will affect this app too.

Sigh, what is Google doing... our app gets killed too, makes no damn sense.

archon810 commented 4 years ago

I'll close it since there's nothing we can do but ask Google why this is done and keep the pressure on.

AndroidDeveloperLB commented 4 years ago

@archon810 Sorry for that. Just didn't know where to write you. Tried to contact Android Police too. I hope they will consider writing about it. Maybe with some people starring those, Google will reconsider. Google already made some terrible choices on Android over the past years.

In the past, I was excited for each new version : What will they bring next. Nowadays, it's the opposite: What will they ruin next...

@archon810 Yes thank you. Sadly you didn't put a link to what I've put (of reddit). Can you please consider it? Maybe it will encourage more people to write about it.

archon810 commented 4 years ago

I've added it.

AndroidDeveloperLB commented 4 years ago

Nice. Thank you. Do you think Google will fix this issue, or at least admit that it's an issue? Or too soon to guess?

archon810 commented 4 years ago

No idea. I know they've heard us, so we'll have to leave it to them to discuss and hopefully come up with a workaround.

AndroidDeveloperLB commented 4 years ago

I hope they will also fix this issue related to installing, that I've reported : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/154212612

It occurs on all installers that I've found so far. The installer app can't know what's going on, so it thinks it's still in progress.

archon810 commented 4 years ago

Starred, thanks. We also ran into this issue but I never bothered to file a bug.

AndroidDeveloperLB commented 4 years ago

Your miss. I got more star points there. :)

I've tried to find how to detect it too, but I failed. If you know of a workaround please let me know (maybe better to write there though)
