are there any pixel/stock like launchers currently in development? went from motorola to oneplus and missing stock launcher, nova launcher isn’t developed since 2021, lawnchair haven’t seen any release since 2018-2019, ruthless can’t be officialy installed because it’s ‘made for older devices’, hyperion is weird with icons, they look small at 115% and clip if set to larger percentage etc.
The standard Android development tooling includes extensive virtualization technology. So, on your dev PC, you can launch a program, which pretends to be Android hardware, then an Android OS is installed into there and then your app.
In that way, you can easily test with various Android OS versions, without buying tons of hardware.
Having said that, if the devs don’t earn money, it may of course still be the case that they’re not motivated to fix issues for an Android version they don’t have.
