Totally! I had the same experience maintaining an iOS app (eventually abandoned), which is why I was curious and asked the question. Every new version of Xcode produces more warnings, deprecates more APIs, removes previously deprecated ones, and "strongly encourages" changing your code in all sorts of ways. Yuck! I was wondering if the same was true on Android.

Contrast that to Microsoft, who (at least used to) really get backwards compatibility. I bet I could dig out a Win32 program I wrote 20 years ago for NT4 and compile it today, and it would run on Windows 10.
