well, it says it works on the 10 as he tested it on there
Sure you can't sneak it in for me
No, I can not "sneak this in for you", because:
We already it "doesn't work" on the 9 -- even though to someone without "inside knowledge" of HTC models and their code, a 9 is no different from a 10 or an 8, same Android versions even it seems.
And now let's imagine that on the 9, it just "doesn't work", but on some other phone -- 8 1/2 or 11 or 10 on Verizon or 9 on AT&T or the Korean version of the 8 -- it causes something bad? Launcher flashing a repaint (like it did on my HTC One Max), or a crash?
Basically with the "does not work on the 9" I'm even more uncomfortable about putting this into a prod version.
And look at Xiaomi and Lenovo support in that library -- first added, then disabled as "not working". Not good, not ready for prod use.
Can phone manufacturers finally get it together and start documenting this stuff?
Not "our new exciting SDK for working with the laser focus" or "our wonderful new feature, the curved screen and you can show a dinky little icon there", but things that users actually want?
Rhetorical of course. Getting off the soapbox now.
