Want a Faster .NET MAUI App? Try These Quick Fixes! I’ve been there—struggling with slow load times and clunky performance. Here are a few quick tricks that helped me get things running smoothly:   ⚡ Keep Animations Simple: Fancy animations are cool, but they can slow down your app. Stick to the basics for better performance.   📊 Use Lazy Loading: Load content as needed instead of all at once. Trust me, it makes a huge difference in speed.   🖼 Choose the Right Layout: I’ve learned that using Grid over StackLayout can speed things up—it’s more efficient.   💾 Cache Data: Don’t let your app reload the same data over and over. Caching will save time and improve user experience.   📱 Test on Real Devices: Emulators are great, but real devices show you the true performance. Always check how your app runs in the real world.   These tips helped me get my apps to perform better—hope they do the same for you! Need more advice? Let’s chat.👇 Pramod Sharma Ankur Tiwari Tushar Patidar   #mobiledevelopment #csharp #appdevelopment #mobileapps #techtrends #techtips #dotnetmaui

Android 15 brings a significant update that could have a substantial impact on your app. If you have a large user base, it's essential to prioritize this change to maintain a positive user experience. There are two changes related to window insets in Android 15: edge-to-edge is enforced by default, and there are also configuration changes, such as the default configuration of system bars. Note: If your app is not already edge-to-edge, portions of your app may be obscured and you must handle insets. The best part is that by keeping your SDKs up-to-date and following the recommended architectural guidelines, adapting to major changes becomes much easier. https://lnkd.in/gWn3n4qt #Android #AndroidApps #Android15 #AndroidDev #GDE #AndroidUsers

A useful part of Compose that not many know about is Intrinsics. This tool lets us see how much space parts of our app need before we place them on the screen. This helps make our apps work well on any device. Advantages of using Intrinsics- Adaptive Layouts: Intrinsics help us arrange our app’s parts in the best way, so it looks good on any screen. Custom Layouts: If we need a special design that the usual layouts can’t make, Intrinsics let us build it ourselves. Better Performance: Using Intrinsics means our app doesn’t have to keep recalculating layouts, so it runs smoother. #android #compose #intrinsics #kotlin

Are you facing memory issues in your Flutter app? 🧐 The DevTools Memory View can be your secret weapon for preemptive optimization and troubleshooting. 🛠️ When to use it: Crashes: When your app runs out of memory. Slowdowns: App or device performance takes a hit. Memory Leaks: Suspect memory is being consumed unnecessarily. Exceeding limits: Your app goes over the memory limit set by the operating system. Don't let memory problems hold your Flutter app back. Dive into the Memory View and ensure optimal performance! 💡 #flutterdevelopment #performanceoptimization #devtools #memorymanagement #debugging
