Hi Android-related peeps! The Android Tech Leads met on Monday, July 22. We are buoyed by some new faces representing new parts of the Android ecosystem: dexter from the Glean SDK team, mhentges from the releng mobile organization, and rbarker from Firefox Reality. Welcome to the party!
The discussion focused on the "Nighly Fenix" problem: how do we work on Gecko (and GeckoView) in a vehicle that ships to a large enough user base to provide good testing? The situation right now: - Fenix ships on GeckoView 68 (so new Gecko work can't be easily seen or tested in Fenix itself) - Reference Browser ships on the bleeding edge, but isn't an "owned product" with a large user base (<1k Google Play users) - GeckoViewExample is not a shipping product, nor is it feature-rich enough for getting user feedback and bug reports There are a lot of constraints on the system and it's not clear what the best way to update across mozilla-central/android-components/fenix will be, but many folks are thinking about the problem. If you have opinions, add your thoughts here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aTqDW-i5rQmxU_gkRiQDHWOF8qZsSPIVlAObVdzkRhk/edit?usp=sharing> .
