Digest of interesting materials for a mobile developer # 370 (November 9 – 15)

In this digest, we discuss Apple’s awful documentation, running Android Studio on any device, moving to Kotlin (including Multiplatform), building a backend without server developers, the success of Among Us and UX games, and much more.

In the last year or two, I’ve come to realize that the main obstacle to doing my job is documentation. Or, more specifically, the blatant lack of documentation provided by Apple for its platforms.
