Android Pie SDK is now more Kotlin-friendly
I&#x27;m giving up on upgrading my apps for Android. The releases are dividing the market every single year and consequently steadily eroding sales.<p>On the one hand Google&#x27;s Nexus was released 3 years ago and is now obsolete; on the other hand Apple&#x27;s iPhone 5s was released 5 years ago and gets to run iOS 12. On top of this, the vast majority of my paying customers use iOS, not Android (a variety of lifestyle and reference apps).<p>This is disappointing; I can&#x27;t financially justify further development for Android.<p>Oreo, released in 2017, is at a pitiful 12% installation share.
