Hello all
There's no second chance to make a great first impression. for that reason I want share (and compile) some tips that seem to be very effective at retaining users for your apps. Because it is not only to get installs but make them enter the day after they installed your app
Here is my list of tips:
1- Optimize loading screen
2- Interactive tutorial in case you need it
3- Minimize actions, go straight to the point
4- Do not practice adoverdose
Any more tips to contribute to retain your users?
Cheers!

I've been learning Android development recently and finally released my first free app.
It's open source and available on Github too. It's made with C# in Xamarin (not forms though, which meansit uses Android's native APIs).
I chose to start with a TOTP generator because
It's a non trivial use case yet not too complex
It allows to meaningfully integrate image acquisition and protocol handling
I already had a UWP version I could reuse the corre logic from
The Google OTP generator uses a web service to scan QR codes, as far as I can tell
I'd be interested in asking for feedback: does the app's UI feel right? What areas can I improve?

It was nice to see that you have your first software released. Congradulations... And thanks for sharing. As I saw you developed your software with Xamarin which is a cross platform framework. It would be great if you can share your experience here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/frameworks/native-vs-cross-platform-t3850250 with other people.
I like to hear more stories about crossplatform and also native coding experiences.
I'm going to give your software a try.
I'm not a fan of material design UI, however your app looks nice. Congratulations for creating your first app.
Congratulations. You made the right choice when decided to create tool. Wish you high ratings and many downloads! I downloaded it on my phone.

In this article, we will learn how to integrate Cloud Testing in Pygmy collection finance application.
Why do we need testing?
Delivering the quality product matters in the software industry. If the product has the errors or crashes end users will switch other similar products. End of the day user base matters for mobile application, so application has to test thoroughly.
The delivery of an optimal quality software product that has unique and innovative features has been the priority of the software industry worldwide. However, without evaluating software components under various expected and unexpected conditions, the team cannot guarantee these aspects. Therefore, testing is performed to test every software component large and small.
Cloud based testing service is most important and powerful feature for developers. So Huawei has come up with great solution that is cloud testing. It uses real time devices and gives the full report.
Currently available types of testing added:
1. Compatibility Test
2. Stability Test
3. Performance Test
4. Power consumption Test

9. Create sample application
1) Compatibility Test
What is Software Compatibility Testing?
Compatibility is non-functional testing to ensure customer satisfaction. It is to determine whether your software application or product is proficient enough to run in different browsers, database, hardware, operating system, mobile devices, and networks.
The application could also impact due to different versions, resolution, internet speed and configuration etc. Hence it’s important to test the application in all possible manners to reduce failures and overcome from embarrassments of bug’s leakage. As a Non- functional tests, Compatibility testing is to endorse that the application runs properly in different browsers, versions, OS and networks successfully.
Compatibility test should always perform in the real environment instead of a virtual environment. Since Huawei Cloud testing gives the real environment
