Building Android apps used to be very complicated for developers in Utah, and across the United States. Fragmentation within the Android world used to be so great, apps consistently needed software patches and other updates. Depending upon the particular Android OS, Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread, and the size and resolution of the display, many apps would fail soon after they were installed.
However, times have changed. Salt Lake City, did you know Google introduced a new concept changing the way software developers design Android apps? Google took control of the platform behind the platform, and pulled specific features out of its core OS. By decoupling its system from its non-system apps, Google has nearly eradicated all fragmentation issues. Now, Google Play Services (the platform) can be updated on its own without having to wait for reluctant OEMs to roll out an entirely new OS. For Utah app developers, developing apps for Android devices has become an easier task.
Since Google Play Services can update itself when it needs to, Android 2.2 and newer, can virtually run any app without a single problem. So, if you’ve ever hesitated at the idea of developing an app for Android-based devices, don’t. Android app development no longer faces the plethora of issues once caused by fragmentation, and Google’s new platform is artificially intelligent.
The only benefit to Google’s fragmentation issue was it forced software developers to hone their Android development skills. Constantly making repairs to mal-functions in apps due to Android fragmentation has produced highly skilled developers in Salt Lake City. Now, they are more capable than ever to take advantage of Google’s new platform design.
