This happens to me regularly with many apps on play store. Not sure what the reason is.

@sartoric same here, Suunto trolled me I was excited to see the update and then: 4.42.2

[LitchiMonster]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I’m guessing the update won’t be dropping this week then? I think I need to delay my excitement and stop checking for updates, it’s getting too much!

[RyanYen]

@litchimonster I have been tired to keep waiting.

@sartoric so others can suffer XD

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Hey guys. An issue is preventing us from releasing Android atm. Sorry about that.

[LitchiMonster]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos No stress, thanks for the update. Hope it works out! Next week it is then

[Frederick Rochette]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos So we will have the update for iOS before

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos the update is simply so good that you’ve managed to break the Android.

Nothing to be sorry, better that way than releasing with known bugs Hope iOS get it sooner

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos just from curiosity, why Suunto doesn’t use flutter so it can release exact same app on iOS and Android and developing just one app. There wouldn’t be differences between released apps for different OS. And since less work (only one codebase), developers could focus more on new features and bug fixes.

I just know people using flutter, newer used it by myself so maybe there is good reason to not use it for this usecase.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@tomas5 flutter is just a framework. Can’t do things like maps , Bluetooth etc.

Also flutter is new. Not ready for iOS (performance issues see it’s tons of debate on the net).

Flutter became popular 1 year pretty much ago.

We do use multiplatform libraries though. Backend iOS and Android share quite a ton of codebase.

To give you my personal view on anything nowadays that uses some kinda “common” framework: see electron apps. It’s not better in performance from native.

To cut a long story short , technically , we are not there for such a big app that needs Bluetooth, maps , charts etc. Those are not flutter things.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks for explaining, i was guessing something like that.
