Open-source frameworks are increasingly shaping the Android ecosystem, offering alternative solutions to Google’s standard libraries. This session will examine the practical benefits and trade-offs of adopting open-source frameworks at scale, addressing key gaps they fill and how they influence architectural decisions in mobile teams. >What is the current industry balance between open-source frameworks and standard Android libraries? >What challenges do state-machine architectures like Circuit, Workflow, and Appyx solve for mobile orgs? >How do open-source frameworks impact long-term maintainability, scalability, and team onboarding? >What are the key architectural bottlenecks in Android development today, and how do these frameworks address them? >trelWhat organizational investment is required to adopt, maintain, or contribute to open-source frameworks?
