Don't ignore this tip! We've switched to using the optimized proguard file & shrinking resources in our latest release and have seen a massive drop in all performance related metrics, with slow app launch metrics dropping >30%. All from a 5 minute code change!
Run this and let me know the output:
`grep "dontoptimize" app/build/outputs/mapping/release/configuration.txt`

In case it's not empty, you definitely should watch this youtu.be/QqO2jZ-NZko?...

We've been using Navigation 3 since early alphas and it's perfect for us.
We looked for a navigation solution for a while until nav3 came along - nothing quite fit the bill. Nav3 is the perfect combination of being very flexible and solving the hard problems.
Congrats on hitting stable!
Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! 🎉🎉🎉

Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well!

Been working a little on iOS recently and while Android tooling has its issues it is just miles ahead of iOS when it comes to the IDE & build tooling

Going from Disneyland to tube strike London is quite the reality check. At least the crowd levels are similar

If you submitted to the Droidcon London 2025 CfP... First of all, thanks! Second of all, keep an eye on your inbox starting today ;)

I'm pretty proud we managed to go through all 343 submissions and have the first emails going out less than a week from the end of the CfP.

How is the Android ecosystem changing? The tags in the @droidcon.bsky.social London CfP submissions paint a very interesting picture!

(bars represent actual counts, so both years are on the same scale)

Some quick analysis in follow-ups
