Oh yeah!Back with this week Developer hub containing News ,Recommended tools for the developer.
We try to pick up those tools and apps for designers and developers that are genuinely worth checking out and promise to make you all feel glad about having found such stuff that are created with the clear aim to help you out wherever you get stuck.
So Lets start Checking this week Developer News and tools you can look out for
SecretKeyFactory API in android 4.4
In Android 4.4 KitKat Google made a subtle change to the behavior of SecretKeyFactory. This change may break some applications that use symmetric encryption and meet all of the following conditions: Use SecretKeyFactory to generate symmetric keys, and use PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 as their key generation algorithm for SecretKeyFactory, and Allow Unicode input for passphrases.
Unexplained 1star rating in Google play
Earlier this month an update to the Play Store began rolling out with a brand new ratings widget appearing on the main landing page and within landing pages for each major section (Apps, Movies, Books, etc.) The simple card encouraged users to give a score of 1 to 5 stars on a previously downloaded (or claimed) item in exchange for some suggestions about similar items they might be interested in. While this seemed like a relatively innocuous addition, obviously intended to drive additional downloads, it seems to have had a unexpected negative effect: Several developers are reporting a drastic rise in 1-star ratings on otherwise successful apps.
