Extreme lag on android

[J05HI]

The android debug build is lagging extremely. Take a look at the recording:

The release build can't be installed:

Thanks for the heads-up! To help us investigate: what device/emulator are you using? And is there any chance it's super low on disk space?

Also do you see any improvement in scrolling the city list when you hit the button in the upper right to switch to "poster" view mode?

I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro, no emulator.
I have about 50 GB free space.

A little bit. But not really.

Why can't I install the release build?
Is it corrupted?

Why can't I install the release build? Is it corrupted?

The problem with the release build is likely that it is unsigned. The debug build is signed, but with a key that (likely) changes every time, so you wouldn't be able to update the app. If you want to try with the release build, you could download the apk locally and manually sign it, and/or just build the skipapp-bookings app yourself from Xcode with the Release configuration (in which case it would sign it with a temporary key).

I just signed the release build. Sadly it has the same lag.
The showcase app installed through PlayStore works smoothly.
Have you tested it on an android phone or only simulator?

@aabewhite @marcprux
Any news for the lag problem?

Tha is for following up. We isolated and fixed one source of slowdown (SwiftUI's implicit localization of Text). We'll continue to investigate and improve things over time
