Google layoffs hit Flutter team

Well, Android development has noticably slowed down and got less attention. Look at Android 14 page. What are those "new features"? Not really worth talking about it you compare with previous versions. And Android 14 barely got mentioned in the previous Google IO.

Meanwhile there is so much that needs improvement in Android. To begin with, password Autofill. Compared to iOS, this is a nightmare.

Ehhh, I've barely managed to keep up with all the changes to Android. Things like permissions/security, Jetpack, Material 3. I'm happy to let them slow down for a bit.

Really, my practical experience has been the other way around.

And this seems to be the general consensus. iOS autofill is terrible compared to Android's.

Android at this point is a mature OS we are only going to be seeing polishing at this point.
