Digest of interesting materials for a mobile developer # 364 (September 27 - October 4)

In this digest - Android updates, a custom engine for games, hair simulation and VHS effects, No-Code machine learning platforms, and app revenues. Enjoy reading!





I had a simple render of sprites and text, a simple input processing system from which it was possible to obtain information about the mouse and keystrokes, and all sorts of utility bindings for the engine's auxiliary systems. In general, I could display some simple picture. Subsequently, this all changed a lot and was overgrown with architectural tricks.Starting from Android 8 (some vendors from 7.1), the system has a new mechanism for rolling OTA updates, the so-called. Seamless A / B OTA Updates - seamless updates. In this post I will describe the general principles of its operation, consider the mechanism from the developer's point of view, and also compare it with the old (we will call it recovery-based) approach to applying updates.
