Every two years development paradigm changes in Android. What was best practice is now legacy code. Most recently this paradigm shift was Jetpack Compose. Teams have a tendency to start from scratch and rewrite the app. It seems nice for the developers, but it always takes much longer than expected. And users are suffering - they are not getting updates for a long time. And when it's the time for a big release, users often react badly to too many changes at once. I recommend gradually transforming the codebase into a new paradigm. I led these transformation in multiple large apps and I will share lessons learned with you.
