The digest of news from the world of mobile development in the last week №39 (February 2-9, 2014)
This week, Apple began removing applications from the App Store that use IDFA, but not showing ads, and Google from Play applications with alternative payment methods, Microsoft invested $ 15 million in Foursquare, Puzzle & Dragons earned the first $ 1 billion, and VisionMobile released the sixth Developer Economics. This and more in our weekly selection of news from the world of mobile development.

This does not mean that it annoys you for so long that you eventually decide to spend money to speed it up. And for such an old man like me, who remembers the golden days of the gaming industry back in the 90s, it is unbearable to watch.
On Wednesday, a new report by the British company VisionMobile from the Developer Economics series was released - for the first quarter of 2014. The sixth report, The State of the Developer Nation, has become the most ambitious - it is based on a survey of 7,000 developers from 127 countries.
Despite the fact that almost all SmartTv is based on browser engines (Gecko, Webkit), each vendor has its own nuances and undocumented features. Actually from here all evil. As a result, we sat down and redid everything, writing a library that simplified our lives at times. And, we hope that it will simplify the novice "smarts."
In fact, if your application loads for a long time, then part of the blame can be transferred to the system! Just with the help of animation.
