What's up with the requirement to add in a D-U-N-S number to Google play, never published an app but being in Australia it goes through someone else and I need to update it all. What a mess around #buildinpublic #android

One of the reasons I’ve put off iOS and Android development is the difficulty deploying compared to the ease of deploying web apps.

Same here, I will always default to a webapp, easier to run updates, roll out and migrate from place to place. However, this one kinda requires it to be iOS/Android, so learning a lot along the way. But it is super frustrating. Add that and working out how payments work has been a mission.

Which is why I’m kinda interested in Native PHP for mobile. It’s web at its core, more so than React Native.

Oh interesting, I haven't even looked at Native PHP for mobile, what Libraries / Frameworks are needed? Sounds super interesting

I haven’t looked into it much either. On my todo list.

Yea nice, I think I'm going to have a look at Expo and see how that goes. Just to see if I can roll out a template that I can copy for each new app I create.
