I don't make Android apps because the environment is a treadmill - constantly requiring app updates to run on the newer OSs. I have not (yet) experienced the same forced obsolescence in any of the Linux flavors - apps I wrote 20 years ago still compile and run without mods, just relink to the latest libraries and go.
