@riggaroo Good to know!
What is the best approach to use Material Symbols in Compose Multiplatform?
@Aurimas There's this plugin from Google that for some reason sits under the Maps platform https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/secrets-gradle-plugin
Not sure if it's best practice to use it. You could achieve something similar to a .env file with it.
Secrets Gradle plugin  |  Maps SDK for Android  |  Google for Developers

Google for Developers
@Aurimas yes, both of those. There's secrets that need to be used only during the build process, like keystores or google-services.json on Android, and then there's secrets that end up being embedded in a bundle to be used at runtime, like API keys and other identifiers. The latter are of course avoided altogether.
@Aurimas Thought of another one. How to work with secrets to keep them out of version control. I feel everyone is doing different things to inject secrets from places like Vault, Infiscal, or 1Password, into a Gradle build.
@Aurimas maybe just when to use them to share build logic. What they are good for and what they are not good for.
@Aurimas Convention plugins ?
@Aurimas
Are the version catalog examples here flipped? 🤔

Best Practices for Dependencies

@keyboardsurfer Nice! Would be nice to get some GitHub Actions building blocks, like utils to generate baseline profiles, officially from the Android team.

If it's just a small Cron job that calls an endpoint, maybe something simple like trigger.dev or even val.town could work 🤔
I haven't tried https://trigger.dev but I've considered as an alternative to very simple Workers.
Trigger.dev | Open source background jobs with no timeouts.

Build and deploy reliable background jobs with no timeouts and no infrastructure to manage.

@ashdavies They "deprecated it without replacement" and recommend "forking their implementation and adapting it to your needs"
