> Hopefully you aren’t relying on any abandoned software.
Every major Android update, I get scared. I use an alarm clock (Gentle Alarm) that has far more features than all others, but it’s been long abandoned (as in: removed from the play store, all websites dead. This was a paid app). Android 10 or 11 already broke it, but someone on reddit (where all 4 or so users of the app met :D) found a manifest change and allowing "drawing over other apps" to fix it.
Now it works on 12, but after I already spent hours asking on HN and Reddit for a maintained replacement and testing those, I hope this continues, because with how lacking all others are I’d rather learn Android development and program my own replacement than using something else.
edit: Hah! The thread [0] with the fixed APK is still getting comments from people who found it every few months :D
