Fantastic Bugs: How to Catch and Fix Them
summary
Talk covers debugging and fixing long-lived, subtle bugs caused by typos and other small code mistakes that later cause crashes. It examines multimedia handling on Android (including why ExoPlayer uses its own media parsers), the role and use of logs in mobile apps, and memory issues across language boundaries—practical guidance for JNI interaction between Java/Kotlin and C++, plus managing objects that move between ARC, Kotlin/Native GC, and C++ smart pointers.
