Hello everybody! The Mobile Tech Leads met on Wednesday, Oct 10 (NA/EU timezones). The discussion <https://docs.google.com/document/d/13ZqcDtmedjAykVveOlZSFYP5tWi2i6G5dCzUuHEBY0U/edit#heading=h.mqk568q050sn> focused on three things:
1. Using Necko in non-browser contexts for GeckoView Apps (e.g., Firefox Sync in the background). Snorp posted a potential API <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1405081> for comment, and there has been some feedback. Overall this is looking positive, and fits into a larger picture for abstracting network stacks in Android Components <https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/1012>. 2. How work is scheduled for the Reference Browser <https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/reference-browser>. The Reference Browser is our kitchen sink for testing component integrations. Right now there's no product organization driving the Reference Browser; the Android Components sprint planning process schedules some work and so do other teams (e.g., the Application Services team is integrating the Accounts and Places API). 3. How to manage threads between Kotlin wrappers and Rust native code. The presenting issue is how to cancel SQLite queries, which is almost by definition a cross-thread process. Thom, Christian, and myself met to discuss options and are digging into implementations this week. Until next week, Nick
