my programming journey

Hmmm... what's going on? This is now the third app I have been unpublished on the Google Play Store. Remember I wrote in the previous post that I needed to hand over the maintainance Nias language pack app to ASK developer? Yes that created security issue with my Play Console account. My bad I used to use the same Play Store key and password for all my apps. Therefore I unpublished Nias Wiki app and created a new one under the name Wiki Nias. Hey I have learned my lesson. Each app will have now its unique key and password! So in case I have to hand it over to other developer in the future, it will not create headache to me. Cheers!

Nias Keyboard Layout This is the second app on Google Play Store I unpublished today. The reason for this one is simply complicated. First I used to publish the Nias language pack for AnySoftKeyboard on my private account. There are two packs: first Nias language pack and Indo-Nias language pack. However in the past year I notice that I don't have additional resources to maintain it. So I decided to unpublished the Indo-Nias language pack, while handing over the maintainance of the Nias language pack to ASK main developer. A bit sad, because my name as sole contributor for Nias language pack will be not visible in the git main merge. But at least it doesn't take my resources and if another developer wants to work on it, they can do it in the main ASK git tree. In short: the Nias language pack is still available on the Google Play Store, and on ASK github repository, but the Indo-Nias language pack is gone. Sorry for those who are still using it. BTW: all Nias keyboard related p

GuNews app icon As a single developer I don't have enough resources to deal with so many new requirements for a news app. Quite sad, because that's the only app I wrote in Java, before moving to Dart/Flutter. And some of my friends still enjoy using it. However the constant changed policies on Google Play Store require additional time and resources. Therefore I decided to unpublish the app. Of course those who had installed in on their devices can continue to use it, but new users will not be able to find it. Cheers :(
