If your Android app relies on OkHttp (directly or via Retrofit/Ktor), you might be exposed to recent certificate authority vulnerabilities until platform roots are patched. Here's how to use a custom HostnameVerifier as a quick application-layer workaround: publicobject.com/2026/10/20/… #AndroidDev #OkHttp
Big performance improvements in kotlinx.serialization v1.12.0! The new ASCII-specific parser brings Okio/kotlinx-io source decoding much closer to raw string speed, and large string parsing is up to 30% faster! Great news for heavy payload processing on Android: github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.se… #Kotlin #AndroidDev

Should Europe leave frontier AI to the Americans and the Chinese?
The idea has gained ground in Europe. It is a fundamental mistake.
Build or surrender: for now, the choice is still ours.

Moving from SKIE to Swift export in a Kotlin Multiplatform project johnoreilly.dev/posts/people…
Swift export is still in alpha and continues to evolve so some aspects of this might change....but cool to see progress and looks like Kotlin 2.5.0 will be big release for the technology!
Kotlin 2.4.21 is out! 🚀
If you’ve been running into edge-case bugs with Composable singletons in generic functions or cross-module getter/setter calls, this patch delivers critical Compose compiler fixes alongside K2 Analysis API polish.
Full changelog:

#Kotlin #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose
If you run Android workflows in CI or terminal scripts, the latest Android CLI updates fix major pain points: guaranteed non-zero exit codes on command failures, headless emulator support (--headless), and zero-copy delta APK patching for faster deploys.

With Mistral Large 4 dropping, I really want to see how it performs on Android Bench! 🤖📱
Android Bench evaluates models on real-world Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and app architecture PRs. Seeing a top-tier open-weight MoE model tackle these complex Android dev tasks would be huge.

Android CLI is becoming essential for terminal-first & AI agent workflows (Cursor, Claude Code, Devin, etc.). Latest releases add --no-idle layout dumps, Canny edge detection tuning for screen annotations, and CLI-driven Compose preview rendering.

We are making Markdown files work natively across Google Drive and Docs.
You can now preview .md files in Drive, open them in Docs, edit them, comment on them, and collaborate without converting the file into a Google Doc!
Kotlin is introducing Companion Extensions, allowing us to attach factory methods and static-like helpers directly to classes we don’t own (including Android SDK & Java types). Say goodbye to cluttering codebases with *Utils classes!
