" summary

Google Android DevRel engineer explains that a dynamic feature navigator library now installs missing feature modules on demand and then resumes navigation (library is stable, deep‑link support is queued on the bug tracker pending more stars). Recommends Kotlin + coroutines, Jetpack libraries, and Jetpack Compose for new UI work. Highlights Play Console’s app bundle explorer, internal app sharing (debuggable bundles, no version increments), delta installs, and measured install lift (~1–2% per ~3 MB saved).
