Alot of the people who I talk to seem to have somewhat of a misconception with why the android port takes so long.
People will claim often that it takes 1-2 weeks to get an app published on google play. That simply isn't true, and I speak from experience. It usually takes thirty minutes to two hours.
The issue is Easytech makes there games only on iOS first. The big deal with that is .ipa files use C to program, whereas .apk almost entirely uses Java. The fact that android still uses this outdated language is actually why android games crash more often than iOS games.
Because of this, the programmers have to change the internal files into an entirely different language, which can be a matter of days to months depending on the complexity of the software.
So please be patient with Easytech, they're working as hard as they can.

Good so far the predictions have not been wrong so there is no reason for them to fail now.

By the way I hope so much to see that game available on the Mac App Store, if possible the next week... playing WC4 on iPhone SE is not so nice, that's too small.

You have been mislead, Android supports a bunch of programming languages including all types of C and C itself is a lot older than Java, to my knowledge they uses C++ in lib.so which is directly read by any linux based system(unix and android are such). The real struggle is IOS operates on 6 platforms at a time, while android has around 1-2 million different(phones, tablets, smart watches, smart TV, pocket PC, mini PC, desktop PC, laptops...) and all of them has different parameters, screen sizes and etc and compatibility in many cases is an issue(I'm talking from experience). P.S. funny fact unix(MacOS), android and Windows mobile all are based on LINUX. |
