Delay with the projects' grade | |
As you may have noticed, the grades for your projects are being delayed. This is due to personal reasons, and we are sorry for making you wait this long. We just wish to inform you that the grades should be available approximately 2 weeks from the date of this announcement. Thank you for your patience, Course staff |

Late submission for the project | |
We'd like to give a proper stage to examine individual problems that occurred during the span of these rough last two months. If you (and your team) did not finish development on the app as planned, and you believe there's a good reason for that: send an email to Sahar and Yuval (and CC the rest of your teammates) so we can examine the case |

We'd like to remind you all to submit the final apk via the course website (same version as your release branch). Please check prior to submitting the apk, please send it to the rest of your teammates and check that it works on everyone's device. Also, do not submit the apk under the name "app-debug.apk" - rename it to match the name of your app |

Final grade in Android (236603) - update | |
Dear students, As we're sure you're all aware, the faculty is now shifting towards online examinations and alternative evaluations this semester instead of final exams, due to the Corona situation. So long as the faculty's solution regarding the exams won't change: our policy for this semester will be to grant you an evaluation for 236603 based on your project as an alternative to the final exam. The evaluations for 236503 and 236603 will be based on: 236503 (3 pts): sprint 1 and sprint 2 evaluations. The sprints will still be evaluated according to the grading keys as presented in the first week's workshop. 236603 (2 pts): backlog evaluation, UI submission and the three homework assignments. Please note that due to this change, the relative share of each submission will change. When the final grades are published, you will also get a feedback detailing your grade for each submission and a right to appeal. We hope that this is a satisfying solution for you. Course staff |

Sprint 2 Reviews | |
In one week, we will hold our final meetings for sprint 2. Our meetings will take place on Tuesday 30.6 (mostly) during the lecture hours (there will be no lecture next week). Participation in this meeting is absolutely mandatory. All team members should be active in the presentation, too. The deadline for your sprint 2 submission is 2 days *after* the sprint reviews, so there will still be some time left for final fixes before your work is done. Vote for your preferred time slot in the following doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/g8emw4hwvvwz6qg9 We'd also like to remind you that you are required to prepare the PowerPoint presentation, as well as a promotional video for your app. Make sure you have an updated version available in Google Play Store prior to the meeting, too. In order to stick to our schedule, try to plan your presentation + video to take around 20 minutes. Finally, we want to allow the option for frontal meetings for those of you who are not comfortable with the current Zoom meetings format. If any of you are interested in meeting us in Taub for the sprint reviews, please send an email to Sahar by the end of the week and we'll try to prepare accordingly: usaharcoatcs.technion.ac.il. Please keep working diligently on your projects to reach your goals - you're almost there! Good luck, Course staff |

Final release - clarifications | |
Hello everyone, We'd like to clarify some of the requirements we have from your final project release. Your app should: - have all of the core features from the backlog properly implemented, as well as most other (if not all) features from your backlog - not crash under any circumstances. This includes scenarios where the user does something that you did not intend - show some indication for loading events (Progress Dialog, ProgressBar, loading screens, splash screens, etc) - work properly in the event of no internet connection - unexpected / buggy behavior, including crashes, should be eliminated - display properly on different screen resolutions and orientation modes - look polished from a UI point of view. Don't be discouraged from UI-related tasks: they're a very important part of the process, and are a big part of the evaluation - maintain backward compatibility with your sprint 1 version Additionally, before submitting your apk: *install the apk on other devices* (passing it via WhatsApp is fine), and make sure they're able to run your app properly, log-in included. Don't forget to update your app's version in Google Play Store, as well. For any further questions and clarifications about these requirements - feel free to contact your mentor via a dedicated GitHub issue. Good luck! Course staff |

Video presentation for your app | |
Dear students, Please include an elaborate video in your sprint's presentation. In the video, you should explain what your app does why it is needed. Treat this as a "commercial for your app" for potential users / sponsors - you may choose to add humor and use only screen recording solutions (with audio / text to explain what's happening), or capture a real video. We'd also like to remind you to finalize your programmers manual, poster and powerpoint presentation for the sprint. We're almost at the end of development - now it's time to give it your all! Good luck, Course staff |

Sprint 2 status meetings | |
We're almost halfway through the second sprint already! It's the perfect time for our second status meeting. The meetings will take place on Tuesday (16.6) right after the lecture. The screen recording solution worked fairly well so far, so we ask you to prepare another demo for this meeting. Try to make the video demo as elaborate as you can, going over all the features of your app. Since we are so close to the end at this point, we expect to see most of the features in place, as well as a very polished foundation (i.e. "core features) for your app!

Flutter lecture | |
Dear students, You are all invited to hear a Zoom lecture that will take place today (10.6) at 19:00. The lecture was organized by the faculty and will introduce you to Flutter, which is Google’s UI toolkit for building applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. It is considered the next gen of cross-platform development, and a new best practice for android development in particular. The lecture will be given by two activists in the Flutter developers' community. We recommend installing Flutter on your computer beforehand if you're interested in the lecture.

Project posters | |
Dear students, Unfortunately, the project fair won't take place this semester. However, you're still required to make a poster for your project. The posters will be published in the lab's website, and possibly in a project fair next semester. The posters need to be made in "portrait mode", according to the template published in the course website (under "homework"). You need to extract two files from your finished poster: poster.pptx and poster.pdf. Submit the poster by 28.6. It's also recommended to add a QR code that redirects to your app in Google Play Store (https://www.qr-code-generator.com/). Examples of posters from previous semesters: https://icst.cs.technion.ac.il/projects/sdl/ Good luck and have fun! Course staff |

Sprint 2 instructions | |
Dear students, The instructions for sprint 2 are identical to sprint 1. This includes uploading your app to Google Play Store, freezing a release branch and submitting the final apk via the course website. Please note, however, that you must maintain backward compatibility for your first release - make sure you don't break it due to database changes! We'd also like to mention that Cloud Functions is a completely different environment than what you are used to. Please start working on it ASAP so we will be able to assist in case of problems. We uploaded an elaborate tutorial in order to assist you with this environment. Please give it a look. In addition, for our upcoming final review after sprint 2, you'll have to prepare a PowerPoint presentation with the following contents: - Introduction to your app and the problem it solves. - External tools - we expect to see a list of Firebase tools you used and how, along with other tools and interesting frameworks. - Features you implemented during the semester - Future plans - what would you like to do if you would have one more sprint A future notice will be published regarding the posters for the project fair. We apologize about the delay - the format of the project fair is currently unclear. Good luck, Course staff |

Sprint 1 submission extended | |
Lots of you had complications with the release due to the Holiday right before the deadline itself. For this reason, we've decided to extend the submission of sprint 1 by one day. The new submission is due to 1.06 at 23:59. This applies to all the sections of the submission, including the APK submission in the course website. We hope this extra day will help you finalize a steady release. There won't be an additional extension, unless granted by email due to Miluim. Please note that the second sprint's schedule remains unchanged - it starts effective immediately. Good luck! |

Sprint 1 Reviews | |
We are approaching the end of the first sprint. Please make sure to closely follow ALL of the submission guidelines and don't forget to submit your release's APK as well! After the sprint is over, we'll meet up for our sprint reviews, during which you'll elaborate on your progress, answer our questions and showcase the release version. Please prepare a quick demonstration video of a typical usage of your app. Make sure you cover all the features you've implemented (so, if your app supports multiple user types, for example, make sure to include all of them). We recommend AZ Screen Recorder for capturing the video. Attach the video in a dedicated GitHub issue and assign your mentor. You might need to upload the video to the cloud. We wanted to hold the sprint review meetings on Tuesday following the lecture, but we are expecting that some of your apps will still not be available on Google Play Store by then. For this reason, we will hold the meetings on Thursday. Participation in the sprint reviews is *mandatory*. Below are doodle polls for all groups. Please write the name of your app when filling the form, and make sure you register to the doodle of your mentor.

A concern was raised in the last reception hour regarding package names for your apps. We've stated before that you should use a package of the form com.technion.appname, but if you missed that and are using a different package name - it's okay to leave it as it is and upload to the Play Store with your package name |

Google Play Workshop | |
Dear students, Miki will give a workshop about the upload process to Google Play Store in the following week. Participation is highly recommended if you haven't finished uploading your app yet. Right after the workshop, Miki will also have his reception hour where he'll be able to assist you. Please vote for the most suitable time slot in the following doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/ng294bqfhh95y8pk Also, we'd like to ask you to read the assignment's guidelines and make sure you know how and when you should contact us about the upload. Please don't save this 'til the end! Google will test your app before it gets public, and it will take up to 5 days because of the outbreak. We really recommend you to get it over with right after the workshop. For now, you should start working on compiling a list of 3rd party resources (libraries, photos, videos, icons, etc) that require a credit to the author(s). Best of luck with your sprint, Course staff. |

Sprint 1 status meetings | |
We're halfway through the sprint and it's a good time for a status meeting. The point of these meetings is for us to evaluate your work so far and give you tips and corrections if we have any. There is no grade for these meetings, but attending them is mandatory. We won't be able to meet you physically and play with the app ourselves, so we ask you to do one of the following: 1. Create a branch in your git repository named "sprint1-status" - this is the version that we'll try to run. 2. Alternatively, we highly recommend a recorded demo that showcases your app (30 seconds - 2 minutes). Use screen recording apps for Android such as AZRecorder to record your demo easily. Send the demo to your mentor before the meeting. If possible, go with option #2: we don't have a lot of time in these meetings so a recorded demo will help save us time and still find things to discuss :) Please vote for a time slot for the meeting in the following doodles: Sahar's teams: https://doodle.com/poll/vumhdy7ppkdekx9p Yuval's teams: https://doodle.com/poll/ay6x4qczhfzek2dw Good luck! |

The covered topics are: Firebase Cloud Functions, Advanced UI components, Upload to Google Play store We highly recommend going over these whenever you can, especially the Firebase Cloud Functions tutorial, which also covers notifications (a necessary ingredient for all of your projects). You're free to send us feedback about the tutorials - we'd like to know if there is any deprecated information that needs to be changed. Good luck, Course staff |

Registration in UG - Online Form | |
It appears that many of you still have registration issues for the courses in UG. Do not be alarmed - this is most likely due to the outbreak and will be fixed shortly. In a previous notice, we asked you to send an email if this is relevant for you. However, I got flooded with too many, and most of you did not specify an ID. So, in order to not forget anyone by accident, we'll organize everything in this form. Please fill it *by the end of tomorrow and in the right format* if you are not registered to either course: https://forms.gle/Qc7uWRwyJ917Un658 |

Clarification about external frameworks | |
We would like to clarify our intention about research that needs to be done whilst forming the product backlog: Frameworks are providers that will supply you with ready-to-use APIs so you won't have to implement everything from scratch yourselves. Firebase-core and Android in general are your primary frameworks, and you've already experienced using those. You may use additional frameworks or any open source libraries you find on GitHub that will be of use to you -- granted that we give you our permission to use them on your actual development. For all user stories, you would need to be prepared to answer what is your approach in implementing that feature behind the scenes. Some stories in particular might be better implemented using external tools. Good luck! |

UI & UX Workshop | |
Our next workshop will be held on Tuesday 21.4 at 14:40 (after the lecture, 20 minutes break). In this workshop we will conceive and design an application from scratch together - we will write a backlog document and create a wireframe for the application's screens. Participation is highly recommended in preparation for your backlog and UI submissions |

Backlog & UI Submission | |
Dear students, The combined assignments for both your product's backlog and its screens design have been published. Due dates are 26.4 and 28.4 respectively, at 23:59. Please note that these are not code exercises and there is no electronic submission - read the documents carefully for all the details. We suggest that you start working on these assignments as soon as possible, particularly your UI submission which requires a lot of design and thought. Right after your backlog is finished, we will hold the backlog meetings on Monday 27.4. Unfortunately, this is the only date possible for these meetings next week so we will all have to make an effort. The backlog meeting is *mandatory* and constitutes 10% of your final grade, so please take it very seriously. Assign your team to one of the scheduled time slots in the following doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/w6gt3zk8q45dugpp Note that the policy here is "first come - first serve"; we can't be flexible due to constraints. Good luck and have fun, Course staff. |

Lecture 3 & Git workshop | |
Dear students, Our second workshop will be held immediately after the lecture tomorrow. In this workshop we will talk about Git - crucial commands (from committing to rebasing), GitFlow methodology and GitHub.

The slides for the workshop are available ahead of time under "course material". This workshop is expected to last 2 hours and will be held at 14:40 so you will have a 20 minutes break.
