Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the game is targeted to people who are already Android developers, but I hope you have fun with it! Just consider the tips & tricks guide a learning center. I did try to hint in the intro chat that only the on-device developer tools were necessary... but once you get to the red levels, things get taken up a notch.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the game is intended for people who are already Android developers, so it's impressive you got this far!

Thanks for this feedback! You're right, the start service command did contain a typo. The action had a typo in both code snippets too. I've updated the dev docs for this, verifying that the code snippets now work in the app.

I've heard similar feedback on #7. My plan is to reduce the digit count from 6 to 4, which should still prove you understand how the puzzle works, without making it unnecessarily complicated.

Thanks again for the feedback! I hope this helps unblock you and that you have fun with the rest of the game.

Sorry about that! Based on other feedback too, I was thinking of maybe reducing the digit count from 6 to 4. It should be enough to prove you're able to solve the puzzle, but less frustrating.

Thank you! I had no problem with approval, actually, but I was worried about it too.

The biggest trouble was the requirement to have 20 people in the closed testers track for 14 consecutive days before being allowed to apply for production.

Thank you! I don’t know if iOS has enough of the same tools to make it compelling enough? Worth a look, though…

I did need a privacy policy in order to publish to the Play Store. It’s linked to in the data & safety section.

Thank you! :) I know what you are talking about. Make sure you are using a developer tool to solve that puzzle. If you are doing it without a developer tool, it won't work. If you're still stuck, the tips guide will help.

Isn’t YNet just quoting Reuters? They reference Reuters in the title area.

Several Israeli news sources have an article with almost the same title.

Which Israeli news source would you recommend instead?
