Comment on Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android
guy@lemmy.world 7 months agoIt’s unlikely you would be making a Linux app. It’s likely that while it is technically Linux under the hood, the OS will be entirely abstracted away, interfaced by an SDK through a layer running on top that controls and sandboxes these web apps.
So if you don’t already have a web app, then you’ve got a lot of work to do.

Sure, yeah, but that’s still what they’re doing. Native android apps aren’t React, so since they’re primarily doing react apps, they’re losing android native apps. I’ve never used React Native myself, but it seems like exactly what you’re saying, and isn’t what android apps are made with.
Amazon is asking app devs to do that work, and so I have to assume that since React is the default app, that they’ll also expose more OS-level things and let the web app actually act like a normal app.
It is just a hope that they do the thing that seems like common sense, but I hope it nonetheless, because they definitely won’t be supporting android apps with it.
