After 219 developers signed a postulation asking for more data about Android ’s procession , Google offered a two - time reply say thanks .
developer ramp up applications on Android , Google ’s mobile sound software that is still in the making , have been venting their frustration at what they say is a tedious pace of updates put out for the SDK ( software development outfit ) and a general want of information about the development schedule for the software .
In belated June , developer Nicolas Gramlich , a computer science scholar in Germany , started apetitionasking Google to release more update to the SDK and to offer developer selective information about the development timeline of the SDK . Last week , he sent the petition to the Android Advocate at Google . The petition has by now been signed by 245 people .
A couple of days later , Gramlich received a response from Google via eastward - post and he posteditin the company ’s prescribed Android word group . The reaction has underwhelmed the developer .
“ We appreciate the exuberance of our developer and we ’re excited that you ’re so passionate about the Android platform . Thanks for taking the fourth dimension to send this , ” reads the note from Google signalize by someone identify only as David .
“ vocalise like a polite way of saying nothing : a verbal silence , ” wrote a developer discover as Shane Isbell , on the Android forum .
Google has not replied to a request for comment or to confirm that the note hail from the company .
In addition to the perceive slow release of SDK improvement , developers were also of late scotch after a Google employee accidentally posted a promissory note on a forum point that the company is offering an improved SDK to a small group of developer who won a contest . Some of the other developer were cast down to watch that they are working on an deficient version of the SDK .
Now , developers are wondering why the keep on silence from Google even after the petition . Perhaps there is some component of the SDK that Google does n’t require its competitors to see until Android launching , another developer identified as Denis Beurive speculated on the forum .
Or , perhaps the SDK is n’t particularly stable and so Google does n’t desire to expel another weak variation of it , he wondered .
