Notes
Lecture 11
----------
- Assignment 1 solutions
- how to make UNIX text files
Midterm is on the first two assignments
- so it won't be on Android at all
- won't have anything directly on iOS Storyboard
- however, studying Storyboard can help you understand what
SwiftUI is actually doing
With Android you really have to pay attention to what API versions you use
- because after two years most Android devices never see an OS update
- many don't run current Android when they are first sold
Google has a way of dealing with this issue
- rather than use the APIs in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), instead
you can use the proprietary ones provided by Google Play Services
- they are updated more frequently and implement "polyfills" so newer
functionality can work on older devices
- look for the "Compat" stuff, that's where you're using Google's
proprietary stuff
