👨‍🚀 🚵🏿 🦄 Ask me anything! Ask the Badoo Android Team 🙍🏾 🧓 👨🏾‍🍳

We propose to continue the good tradition of Ask me anything on Habré and talk about the development of Android applications. Today and tomorrow, the Badoo Android team will be in touch and answer any questions about developing and testing applications with a multi-million audience, give advice to beginners and tell you about the features of the platform. If you encounter any problem or have a question on the topic, write to us!

We promise to respond to all comments of the first level, which will appear here before 16:00 on July 17 Moscow time, and if possible, at a later date.

Few facts about us.Badoo and Bumble are some of the most popular dating services in the world, with 210 million downloads on Google Play alone. Android apps have over 1.3 million lines of code. The Android team has over 20 developers. The main development language is Kotlin, the architectural patterns are MVI and RIBs, the database is SQLite.

Under the cut - more about our team and about the topics that we can talk about.

UPD: We conclude the AMA and say goodbye. Thanks everyone for the questions!
