It's also worth noting that BankID requires access location permission access (at least on Android).

That won't happen because 3rd party apps cannot have the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE permission.

They finally restricted access to clipboard (see https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/data-identifie...).

I always thought it was insane that any app could just listen to everything that went to the clipboard, even while in the background and without any permission. I'm sure many people copy passwords, credit card numbers, bitcoin private keys, etc.

I wish they will use all of these new AI capabilities to fix the share UI (https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/05/05/google-please-fix-a...)

Personally, I always use the same app when sharing URLs (Send to Instapaper). Yet, it always shows me default actions I never used (send via Twitter DM, Print, etc.) and takes like 5 seconds to have the UI usable.

The user can always refuse access to SMS, contacts and other sensitive features on Android. I have Messenger on my Pixel, it's working fine without having access to all of that.

Shameless plug: I started creating an alternative client for Android, you can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.olivierpay...

I'm a heavy Instapaper user myself and was always disappointed with the quality of the official Android app: it runs terribly slow, some articles don't even show up, no image thumbnail, etc.

My app doesn't have all the feature from the official app yet (I'm starting simple), but I'm very open to feedback.

Could you give more details about it? What device is it? How does it work?

Access to all Android apps maybe?

As I understood, this part with printing emoji was just a joke :)

What they are saying is that you can use regular emoji reactions while a video call.

Why? I would buy it.

You can still go back to Kitkat by resetting it (I did and the performance difference is astonishing).

I could be interesting to compare that to the Android/iOS/HTML5 equivalent.

Basically this XAML does 3 things:

- declare 2 states: narrowState for windows smaller than 640px widestate for windows wider >= 641px

- set the layout stacking strategy of a container to Vertical when in narrowState

- set a top margin of a button to 4px when in narrowState (not sure this is relevant for this sample)

From the article: "Unless you know the exact name of my app, you won't find it."

His "Website constructor" app is in 3rd position when I search for "Website". Not that bad for such a generic keyword.

Also, I guess one thing with these apps is that the price range (between $12 and $20) is a quite high compared to the majority of the other apps on the store and (unfortunately?) a lot of people are not ready to buy apps >$2.

I guess that the store search algorithm depends on the conversion rate (people buying the app VS people trying it) and that conversion rate is probably pretty low, so maybe lowering the app price could lead to more sales and higher ranking.

Maybe to keep it simple for everyone? It's hard to explain to people why they need to have 2 separate apps to do almost the same thing.

Is the use of of custom attributes a good practice? (example: <div v-text="message"></div>)?

I thought the data-* attributes were the recommended way (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Usin...).

Doesn't work on IE10

Flash is not available on Windows Phone.

Yes, Windows Phone 8 has offline maps.

Let's hope that Microsoft will not call it Windows SmartPhone 8

They actually lowered the requirements: the minimum memory is now 256 MB instead of 512 MB and 7x27 processors are supported.
