I wanted to get into it one of these four.
Don’t hesitate if you want to help me lol
And the repo will arrive obviously 
Yes, I agree with you but personally I have a Linux and I don’t give a damn about Apple and their obligation to go through a Mac to push the app and to dev… lol
In reality, I chose this because I had already done a bit of it, and I also did some Vue which is a bit similar…
I don’t worry about that I’ll let the boss do it he has a Mac 
Well, I’m not a fan of Apple either, but I find it somewhat normal ^^
Their tools are necessarily better suited for compiling the app for their OS, so it’s a bit normal, and as far as I know, Google is in the same case… You have to go through their IDE to get an APK!
The issue with multi-platform is that you’re not sure the rendering is homogeneous on all devices (unless you manually test all possible screen sizes, but good luck with that) whereas with native tools you don’t have to worry about that.
And then each platform has its specificities, specificities that multi-platform handles very poorly or not at all..
Well, that’s my personal opinion ^^
Got you there 
Yes, I agree, responsive design is an issue across all languages.
Yep. I completely agree.
You can definitely compile APKs on iOS.
Regarding the fact that it’s « better » to be native:
Of course, it’s the closest to the device. Not much experience in the field (did a bit of Xamarin in school) but for a Gladys app that will only « consume the API » there’s not much reason for it to fail:
No photos, accelerometer, or other sensors managed by native code. The most annoying part is the views, adapters, and all that… on Android, the slightest list is hell… I’m not even talking about XML views…
React Native is JS, and if you come from Frontend, you’re less out of your comfort zone (I’m speaking for myself there 
)… well, that’s the idea I have of it 
Personally, I’ve never had any major issues with that on Android 
After all, it’s true that some adaptations are necessary for certain formats, but I find that the Android system already handles it quite well!
So in the end, you write the code twice, you might as well go native XD
This is exactly the kind of reasoning I don’t understand 
For me, if you want to do something new, you have to learn the basics and not go for a technology you already know and that does the work for you… When I wanted to do Android development, I learned to do Java and also learned all its subtleties (now I’m learning Kotlin) I didn’t go for native because I already knew how to do JS.
After all, everyone has their own philosophy, but personally, I don’t like staying in my comfort zone and I like learning new things, so when the opportunity arises, I take advantage of it
The first version of the app was indeed simple, but the next one will be less so 
It will do much more than just consume the API and display the data ^^
After all, as they say, tastes and colors are not up for discussion 
I myself will end up doing more multi-platform with Flutter, which is very attractive (especially with Dart), I admit
Same, I don’t think there’s anything better…
Oh!!! A conversation of the deaf 
Can I participate?
In reality, who cares as long as the app works and does what we ask it to do, we don’t care in reality …
Hello,
Good Job @MathieuA
Quick question, which ABIs did you compile the APK for?
Because I can install it without any issues on my Nexus 5X, but I can’t install it on my tablet or my other Samsung Galaxy A5 smartphone?
Hello @NilkOne
I didn’t use any ABI filter during the builds so the APK is normally compiled for all types of ARM
Moreover, I also have a Galaxy A5 and the app is well installed on it and works perfectly ^^
However, it is only installable from Android 4.4.
And a new version has seen the light recently => https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/recherche-de-testeurs-android-v1-0-alpha01/3429
Hello @MathieuA,
Thanks for the heads up
I would also like to participate in the test program but I haven’t found how to send you a DM for my email?
You click on his head (he likes it) and you send a direct message.
Unless you don’t have (yet, I think it unlocks) the rights…
Thanks @Hamtaro, you’re right, I had the new user restrictions.
I’ll stop cluttering the post, looking forward to giving you my feedback 
Hello.
Will the app be updated for Gladys V4?
I’m not sure it’s planned, as Gladys v4 is a PWA (progressive web app), i.e., a web application (accessible via browser) that has access to « native » phone features (like notifications).
