Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 — Focused on release-build optimization, code cleanup, and pledge-flow stabilization in kickstarter/android-oss. Achievements include enabling R8/resource shrinking for release builds, streamlining the service layer by removing unused ApiClient/ApiService, and aligning dependencies (Gemfile.lock and app/build.gradle). Pledge-flow work addressed UI and logic gaps: future-start AddOns display correctly, shipping rules collection/default selection robust, fix pledge flow payment-method visibility, and late-pledge UI alignment. These changes reduce APK size and build times, increase UX reliability, and reduce crash risk.
