OK, now we'll past Mid-December and no update on Android apk progress, let alone shipping restarting. Although I am inured to this promise - silence - inactivity - slide-timescale-to-the-right behaviour from Alice, it is still desperately disappointing. What is going on, or is this 'public roadmap' another soured idea that has been abandoned, like your User and Backer Facebook groups?

Is anyone at Alice in a position to be able to advise on the current situation regarding the Android Apk development?

No further update on Android App progress. From Update #24 - "We've made the tough decision to suspend deliveries for two months and resume deliveries again from mid-December 2024." I should like your justification for the attached, snipped from your https://www.alice.camera/about regarding Batch 4 deliveries, for which you are taking pre-orders.

Android app is working, but the over-the-air software update development has stalled. This is because JCenter has been shutdown which is causing further dependency and library issues than anticipated a couple of months ago.

I notice your postings on Facebook that say that the Alice Camera works with Android. Not to split hairs here, but no user has been given access to an Android App for the Alice Camera, so the statement is at best unproven. This exercise in transparency has stalled too, with no updates since initial posting in early August.

Getting the camera over-the-air update workflow for Android has been tricky and taken more time than expected.
