Ending support for storing recordings on Android

Post by nickk »

We are considering ending support for storing recordings on Android.

1) Android has moved all filesystem access to fuse. This is much much slower, limiting the number of concurrent recordings.

2) Android is imposing stricter rules for processes that launch at startup requiring changes to how we handle things.

3) We get regular support calls from people where the Android device isn't always on or isn't always there (phones for example).

4) Google still hasn't provided a way to store recordings such that they don't get deleted if you uninstall and reinstall the app.

Our current thinking is to end storing recordings on Android as there are much better ways to store recordings.

Open to feedback...
