Scaling Android Development without a Monorepo

As mobile startups grow into medium sized companies, it's not always possible to have a monorepo. In this talk, we'll discuss how some strategies and tooling can help us ship and manage an Android app across a large number of repositories. We'll also discuss some of the problems we run into and how we can solve them. We'll discuss topics such as: - binary compatibility - why it's important and how we handle it (especially when a bump in a shared library might cause a crash in a completely different part of the app). - tooling to understand changes to the dependency tree (what version changes occurred, what versions are behind, and catching these at CI). - sharing Gradle build plugins to make life easier. - code generation strategies to share code between Android and iOS. - and more We’ll also discuss a high level of the architectural decisions that allow adding or removing major pieces of functionality through just adding or removing a dependency to the Gradle script, and how this architecture gives us some neat advantages along the way.
