<p>And all this article is "just" about the building of the Java/Kotlin application :)<p>Native NDK is another can of worms, with updates linked to SDK or sometimes not, unclear documentation about device and API compatibilities, compiler behavior changes and other requirements (like the 16K one) that impact so many 3rd party native libraries.<p>But, of course, the rules on the uploading and the changes of the Console, that changes so often is what makes it painful.<p>The absolute nightmare is about giving Google the root signing key of your application, the unfinished business about app bundles (which should reduce the size of the downloaded app, and more often than not, make it bigger), the changes in compliance, letters to sign for different countries, the compatibility for Google form factors (XR, TV, Auto, Automotive), Inline installs and other Teacher Progams, Play for family and so on.<p>All of this changes non-stop and is very poorly documented :)<p>At least, the Play Store is still GPLv2 compatible, so for now, we're saved (VLC)</p>

<p>(President of VideoLAN here).<p>So far, VideoLabs is hiring most of the VLC core developers and those people are the main force of development of VLC. It's setup this way so that if the Videolabs company does not live forever, VLC stays forever free, and the non-profit lives.<p>This is quite classic of open source projects, and in the case of VideoLAN, there are 3 or 4 companies doing consulting.</p>
