Google has quietly ditched astrophotography support for the wide-angle shooters on Pixel phones. Version 8.1 of the Google Camera app now only allows night sky shooting at 1x zoom or tighter.

Porting your Android app to iOS requires time and effort. Along the way you may start to wonder whether this is really the best use of your time — wouldn’t it make more sense to concentrate on polishing the work you’ve done so far, rather than simply re-creating it on another platform?

It features a light, drag-and-drop interface in keeping with what we expect from the “Material Design Refresh” and, in my brief time with it, displayed the ease-of-use Google apps are known for.
Being able to create your own 3D models is something that can come in handy for a wide range of reasons. Whether you want to create some attractive 3D art, design a product to get 3D printed, or even make animations and special effects.
Of course, 3D models also come in very handy for game developers, so if you’re an Android developer working in Unity, then this is a very useful skill to add to your bow.
The ICQ app strives to merge many of your social networking features, and text messaging into one package. It seems like a tough goal to meet, and can it live up to its efforts?

There’s a new Ring glass alarm sensor available to pre-order. The device is simple to install and works with your existing Ring security system. It costs $39.99 for one or $69.99 for two.
