Se trata más bien de costos de mantenimiento y de la disminución del soporte del mercado para el sistema operativo, y no siempre significa nuevas características.

 

Es muy costoso y consume mucho tiempo dar soporte a múltiples versiones de sistemas operativos, especialmente cuando un sistema operativo ya no es utilizado por la mayoría de los dispositivos.

 

De hecho, la organización cuenta con estadísticas que monitorean esto e indican cuándo es momento de retirar el soporte. Una vez alcanzado cierto umbral, lo suspenden, lo que en este caso aplica a Android 7 y también a iOS 14 y versiones anteriores. Por eso, también podrías notar que la app Biblioteca es compatible con más versiones de sistemas operativos Android y Windows que iOS, ya que un mayor porcentaje de usuarios de iOS actualizan a la última versión.

 

Pero como, como dijiste, la versión menor ahora es “.5”, la probabilidad de una nueva versión mayor con nuevas características es alta, pero ya veremos.

But in your opinion, what do you imagine if there's a bigger update they're cooking up? I mean, let your imagination run wild and let's talk about the topic, which I find very interesting. Also, what if The truth is that Android 7 is already a system where the market share is already very low, just like Android 8. From Android 9 onwards the market share is better and there are a few more users, but Well, let's see from which version of Android the application will now be compatible, more than anything, let's see how long it takes the brothers to add compose to the entire application and that they migrate it little by little. Little by little, in order to make it run more smoothly, as well as on par with the iOS and iPadOS app.

If the branch has statistics then hopefully they choose Android 9 or 10 so that it's worth it for the brothers. There are already many phones that come with Android 14 or 15 so no problem.I feel that it will not affect many brothers, I feel that in previous years it did, but now cell phones are at good prices without spending so much and with good support for updates and functions.

This is more about maintenance costs and the dwindling market support for the operating system, and it doesn’t always mean new features.

 

It’s very expensive and time consuming to support multiple versions of operating systems, especially when an OS is no longer used by the majority of devices.

 

In fact, the organization have a statistics that monitor this and indicate when it’s time to drop support. Once it reaches a certain threshold, they discontinue it, which in this case applies to Android 7 and also to iOS 14 and earlier. That’s why you might also notice that the Library app supports more OS versions on Android and Windows compared to iOS, because a larger percentage of iOS users upgrade to the latest version.

 

But because, as you said, the minor version is now “.5,” the probability of a new major version with new features is high, but we’ll see.

I really liked your comment because yes, the market share is already quite low for that version of Android. So it's good, I also want to know your opinion, but in my opinion, more APIs can be added and implemented for the benefits of the application, like what I mentioned, hopefully, and what about the statistics that I mentioned?Well, add the minimum version to install the application from Android 9 or 10 Well, I feel like it won't affect many, phones today are affordable and they work well without spending so much, I hope they can add good features but come on Let's not be afraid. What do you think about what's coming, if a big update is coming? I'm excited to talk about it, especially as I wait for that update. Comment.

 

I think that a redesign of the application should come and that little by little they will migrate the application to compose and leave the XML version behind, in addition to a dark mode and being ambitious, material you and an icon Monochromatic.

What we really, really would love to see? Seamless native syncing of JW.app favorites, answers, and projects across all of my devices and OS platforms.  Android, Windows and apple.  I don't always get to sync up using the side method tricks, so my meeting tablet is out of date with my phone, and PC studies.
