Are you ready for a session on Android performance including some live coding? I mean, what could go wrong?
Watch the recorded Google I/O 2025 session now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMyl...
At droidcon London @ajeshr.bsky.social and I presented on "low effort, high impact app performance". We explored how you can improve app performance and then measure these improvements. youtu.be/t7djyOWymJQ?...
I'm here for this!
Performance Spotlight Week is done and dusted. Check out everything we talked about in the closing blog post. android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/full...
We're hosting a live Ask Android session to cap off Performance Spotlight Week at 6PM CET / 9AM PT today. Tune in and bring your questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnZ...
During Google I/O 2025 we also talked about low effort and high impact app performance improvements. And now you can watch the recording.
Tomorrow 9AM PT we're going to answer your #AskAndroid questions on app performance. Quick think of something and ask right now! I won't answer before the session though.

Run this and let me know the output:
`grep "dontoptimize" app/build/outputs/mapping/release/configuration.txt`
In case it's not empty, you definitely should watch this youtu.be/QqO2jZ-NZko?...
Customizing the cache window lets you prefetch content on Jetpack Compose LazyLayouts. Combining it with pausable composition and text prefetching is a winning combination.
Let's talk you through R8 Keep Rules, take the edge off and give your app the performance boost it deserves. android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/conf...
There's more to g-R8 performance. Profile Guided Optimizations, Jetpack Compose 1.10 and background work considerations are on the menu of today's read.

So you enabled R8. Now is a good time to catch up on Keep Rules. @ajeshr.bsky.social talks you through configuration and troubleshooting.

Share this post with your stakeholders. I'm convinced they want to invest in performance after reading it. android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/how-...
This Friday we'll host a live session on App Performance. Bring your questions using #AskAndroid or #performanceEnabled. See you there www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnZ...
The single biggest performance impact for the Reddit app came from enabling the R8 optimizer's full potential.

It's almost time for @droidcon.bsky.social London once again.
www.youtube.com/shorts/rgC8z...
droidcon London is around the corner. This time Ajesh Pai and I will share how you can make low effort and high impact app performance improvements to your app and how that helps drive user satisfaction and business results.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Ever wondered how much app performance really matters? 🤔 Duolingo's latest case study shows it's a game-changer! They boosted their Daily Active Users by hundreds of thousands just by speeding up their Android app. 🚀

There are a lot of amazing KMP talks coming out right now but here is our talk from I/O!
Dustin and I give an update on our latest KMP releases and then explain the build setup for an Android KMP app.

Hard agree! The I/O + Kotlinconf was unlucky, but at least I got to see some old friends again and make new ones.
Our #IO25 talk on how to build more accessible apps with Compose is out! 🥳 Lots of tips on choosing appropriate semantics, merging, clearing & hiding, inspection & debug, accessibility checks in tests 🫶
Check it out ☺️
