So for background, I’m an IT Consultant, and mostly work in the development space, but one area I’ve never touched before has been mobile app development. So today, I spent the day getting a new GitHub repo sorted out, put together a pretty simple Actions workflow with SonarQube integration and basic test gates… on that note, got a new VPS up and running and deployed SonarQube there. Then finally just got my first Gradle project running on Android Studio, and after dealing with a corrupted keystore (fixed by just nuking the keystore, cleaning the project and rebuilding), I finally got technically my first Android app running on my S25 😄😄
Haha that’s awesome!
I would love to do some development for older devices at some stage!
But yeah seeing the Google issues is definitely off-putting, but I’m just going to enjoy a build process for a while first
I did some assembly level programming on the DSP of a S25-like phone platform back in the days for my master thesis.
Was really a lot of fun, doing complex signal processing using 2x8KB directly accessible RAM @ 13 MHz CPU frequency😆
That’s the right spirit!
